Phil, this has a muzzle velocity of 1115 fps and muzzle energy of 499ft. Lbs. This is a match load with a unique bullet with six stabilizing grooves and aerodynamic shape for improved accuracy. Optimal performance out of handgun for competition and target use. Norma HEXAGON ™ is a hollow-point cartridge that is designed for maximum accuracy rather than deformation and expansion. So I wouldn't recommend this for defense or hunting. Hope this helps.

Phil, this Match load, accuracy is 1 inch @ 25 yards at Muzzle Velocity of 1115 Feet Per Second & Muzzle Energy of 499 Foot Pounds. Cheers and stay safe!

Phil, velocity is 1115 f/s from a 6" barrel, and 499 ft.-lb energy. It is not expanding, like a hollow point. This is a target and competition load. The Hexagon bullet looks rather unique and at first glance, it would appear to be a jacketed hollow point but that's not the case here. The bullet features six stabilizing groves that lead to a wide-open tip, which Norma claims contributes to its accuracy potential of yielding 1" or less groups at 25 yards. Have a great day!
