[@phillhuddleston9445]

very impressive but I would suggest using dowel pins which are solid steel instead of being hollow like roll pins, this would add a little weight and likely make the pins travel farther through the target. This would make a perfect self defense round, you get expansion and fragmentation while also getting the right amount of penetration without too much over-penetration. I can see this being a commercially made shell.

[@chadh3441]

The advantage of hollow pins would probably be great for soft tissue, because the pins act like an apple core remover. It would be an interesting test to see. Solid pins would probably be great for bear hunting or for situations where solid objects are present. i. e. Skulls, doors, etc..
