The fabled ammo company is now producing a new solid copper hollow-point bullet called XRG Defense. The new defensive round is available in .380 Auto, 9mm, .40 S&W, 10mm Auto, and 45 ACP.

The 9mm version of the XRG line has a bullet weight of 100-grains and comes out screaming from the muzzle at 1,312 ft/sec. While the 10mm weighs in at 130-grains and has a muzzle velocity of 1,362 ft/sec and hitting with 723 Joules of energy. That is about a 40% increase compared to 9mm which hits at 520 Joules.
