Rohrbaugh Ammo
flyandscuba:
From the range report in another thread, it appears the velocities and energies of firing standard 9mm ammunition out of this short barrel doesn't provide much benefit over what the .380 is doing in the P-3AT.
I'm thinking we need to find and solicit an innovative ammo producer to work up a "Rohrbaugh load" that would utilize a light bullet at standard pressures -- but high velocity -- to generate the most effectiveness out of this new pistol.
Any ideas?
GeorgeH:
RBCD civilian ammo is all standard pressure. Magsafe Defender rounds are standard pressure also.
I know that there a very emotional debate over these exotics, but I think that I will use RBCD as my carry ammo.
Mr_Jody_Hudson:
I will be testing a LOT of different ammo in mine.
I've "had" mine for a few weeks now but it is still in my dealer's showcase, as a favor, to let him show it off to the regulars, etc.
I will likely use Winchester White Box or S&B or PMC. These are the ones that shoot most accurately so far...
However a lot will depend upon what the chrono says.
I learned a LOT from www.AmmoLab.com and I plan to not use anything other than fmj at this point.
However, I'd love to have some special Rohrbaugh ammo loaded for us here. That could be a very interesting feature of this forum, and a major traffic builder for these forums.
We need someone very savy to the physics of ballistics to design something for us. I would like to have three loads; light and fast, medium weight at medium velocity and heavy and slow velocity but all at standard pressures as prescribed by Eric and Karl.

Check out Golden Loki's web site: http://www.goldenloki.com/ammo/gel/9mm/gel9.htm
The performance of RBCD was unreal. It completely pulverized an area 2.1 inches by 5 inches, with total penetration of 8 inches. 2.1 inch expansion is one hell of a big hole. 300% larger than anything else tested. And standard pressure to boot.
I've been using Magsafe Defender rounds for about 14 years know. The Defender version is Magsafe's standard pressure cartridge.
One side benefit of these ultra-light, high velocity rounds is that felt recoil is reduced, allowing for rapid accurate fire. You cannot ignore bullet placement.
The LEO/military version of RBCD is devoid of lead. It was designed to penetrate light armor (diamond plate, cinder blocks, and body armor), yet expand in a fluid rich enviornment. But nevertheless, I'm impressed by the civilian version tested by Golden Loki--although primarily a lead round, a 2.1 inch permanent wound channel makes my jaw drop.
After 14 years with Magsafe, I think I will convert to RBCD in my 32 ACP Guardian/Seecamp and the Rohrbaugh.

Anyone have an online source for the RBCD ammo?
