Title: Hornady Critical Defense Ammunition
Post by: MurrayNevada on February 12, 2009, 05:16:38 PM

I am a long time happy Winchester Silvertip user in my R9S.  Unfortunately I am afflicted with the need to try new ammo when it comes to market.  I got my hands on two boxes (25 rounds each) of Hornady's new Critical Critical Defense 115gr ammo and went to the range with them and a box of 50 Winchester Silvertips.

The Silvertips will remain my carry ammo.  They are more accurate for me and have always performed flawlessly.  I had a Failure To Feed and a Failure to Fire (light primer strike that fired with the second squeeze of the trigger) with the Hornady .  The Silvertips as usual performed perfectly and also had less felt recoil making double taps quicker.

On light primer strikes:  I have had this now with the Hornady and the newly developed Cor-Bon 80gr.  The primers seem harder than the Winchester Silvertips.  The firing pin strike is noticably deeper in the Winchester primers.
