Perfect PUNCH and KNoCKDowN
I use the 230 grain of this ammo in my primary carry Taurus Public Defender Poly 5 shot .410/ 45LC chambered revolver. (backup carry is SA XDM 5.25 Comp) This ammo delivers a devastating blow to the target. Bullet placement is key to survival amd practice makes that possible. Use same ammo that has proven to be accurate and after testing mamy others, this is the ammo for me and the revolver. I use a staged cylinder load, meaning the first two rounds are Hornady Defense buckshot roinds, the remaining three are the 230 grain. My advise to all revolver users: practice learning muscle memory on the safe and fast deployment of weapon, learn the cylinders rotation direction as the trigger is pulled and target practice a lot using buckshot, tje 45LC and for fun, shoot #6 to 9 game loads at bottles, balloons with a Tbsp or flour, baby powder or whatever will explode dust into air after balloon is shot. Be safe, have fun and survive happier.
