50 round box of DRT 9mm Copper jacketed with a powder core, 124 Grain Hollow Point.
Years of research and testing by Dynamic Research Technology (DRT) in conjunction with elite agencies world wide have created the deadliest ammunition available. This is the only ammunition used to safeguard officials and has earned the name "Dead Right There".
50 Round Box of 9mm Hollow Point, 124 Grain, Fine Powder Core, Lead Free, Accurate and Deadly.
The uniqueness of this copper-jacketed ammunition is in the compressed powder core which is as fine as talcum powder, as the bullet is fired it is spinning at such a high speed, when it reaches any part of the "target" and comes into contact with the organic tissue the hydrostatic shock of the soft material going into the hollow point actually makes the entire core projectile expand creating a fatal wound. The bullet will not pass through the "target" making it perfect for home defense or close quarter combat. Hit any part of the body to stop it dead in its tracks.
Ammunition is non-returnable. Please contact DRT directly for quality issues or concerns. (660) 564-2537
Frequently asked questions:
1. Is it safe to eat the meat of animals shot with DRT ammo?
- Yes. The bullet does not open until it reaches liquid under hydraulic pressure or something small enough to get into the meplat of the bullet and blast the jacket off of the core. Example: a whitetail deer is standing quartering to the hunter. Putting the .223 79 grain or .308 175 grain, bullet into the point of the shoulder will have the same effect. The bullet doesn’t open until it is through the shoulder bone and into the body cavity. It will then continue to expand for 11-12”. At that time, the opposite side of the rib cage will be bruised. The area around the entry wound is bruised just like any lead bullet would do. That meat is ruined because of the bruising only. The internal organs contain 99% of the metal powder core. The hunter can cut around the damaged meat. If the powder core happened to get into the meat, it is easily identified and resembles shot from a shotgun shell.
2. How does it work?
- The bullet has a copper jacket, just like any other lead core bullet. The difference is the core. The core is made from compressing 2-3 metals into a small cylindrical core. This core is placed in the jacket and has a cap placed on top of it to contain the core when the bullet is formed. The outside of the bullet will look just like a normal bullet.
- The bullet opens after 1.5” of penetration. The bullet will continue to open for a funnel like pattern until it stops at 11-12” of penetration. Currently, all of our bullets are meant to penetrate the same depth. The different calibers and bullet weights will cause a different diameter of wound cavity due to several different factors. One is velocity and another is twist rate of the barrel. For instance, a .223 Remington round in our 79 grain bullet will typically cause a 4-5” wound cavity in 10% ballistic gelatin. The bullets will not ricochet on steel, but will penetrate bone and mild steel such as car doors.
3. Will it penetrate barriers (body armor, bulletproof jackets, auto glass, clothing, and bone)?
- The bullet will go through anything that is not as hard as it is. The bullet proof jacket will contain the bullet. Auto glass is no match for our .308 175 grain bullet, which will not deflect as it goes through the glass and hits its target. Clothing is one of our most frequent questions. The handgun rounds will go right through any clothing and continue on just like they were designed. It takes the liquid matter under hydraulic pressure to make the bullet open. Water is not a good test because it is not as dense as human or animal tissue and temperature can have an effect. Bone is no match for our bullets either.
4. Is it accurate at long range?
- All of our rounds are made to be accurate at long ranges. The rounds are made using only the most stringent manufacturing processes. All of our rifle rounds are weighed and inspected after loading to ensure that they are properly loaded. The bullets are inspected by hand as well. To get quality ammunition, you have to have hand loading standards.
5. Will it hurt the handgun or rifle that I am using?
- No. Every bullet that is made in our facility is copper jacketed, just like 99% of all ammunition. The ammunition is all made to SAAMI specs using components from the most well known manufacturers.
6. What twist rates are recommended for the calibers that are available?
- .223 – 79 Grain bullet – 1:7-1:9
.308 – 175 Grain bullet - 1:9-1:11
- Handgun Rounds are short barreled and short range, so the twist rate for it to stabilize the bullet is not as crucial. If the twist rate was radical compared to the average twist rate, it could make a difference.
7. What advantage is there to using frangible, penetrating ammunition?
- No pass through, bigger energy dump, and bigger wound cavities.
No Pass Through- the bullet is coming apart and only penetrates to 12”. If the target has an exit wound, it is not the bullet, just pieces of the core. If the core passes through, it would be like getting hit with a snowball if you were on the backside of the target.
Bigger Energy Dump – by not exiting the target, the round expends all of its energy inside of the target, thus hitting the target full force.
Bigger Wound Cavities – Typical wounds from our rounds are at least 2.5” in diameter. If it is a 9mm 85 grain round, that is a .355” bullet. So the bullet expands to roughly 7 times the original diameter. A normal bullet will expand to at most 2 times the original size. Bigger wounds, faster expiration date.

I bought a box and tried them out at the farm. They do exactly as they are advertised. No miss-feeds or misfires. Shot a bottle of water and it blowed up real good.
Amazing ammo

I bought 2 boxes of this to replace my JHP for personal defense, they are cool i shot a hog i just killed with one good penetration and damage id recommend 50rds no jams. Some reviews may have been a lil far fetched but id not say an ammo is crap because i don't like the box and i had 0 miss fires.Id recommend to anyone looking for quality ill be buying more :)

MOST GOOD DEFENSIVE AMMO IS @ 1.00 A ROUND NOW DAYS. I SHOT THIS THROUGH A 4X4 FROM 15 FEET. WENT RIGHT THROUGH. AT THE SAME DISTANCE, I SHOT A GALLON JUG OF WATER. THERE WAS AN ENTRANCE HOLE, BUT NO EXIT HOLE.THE JUG SPLIT AND THE JACKET LAY IN THE BOTTOM. NO FRAGMENTS WERE FOUND. IF I HAVE TO USE THIS FOR DEFENSE, THAT'S WHERE I WANT THE ENERGY TO STAY.
Just an average hollowpoint

I used this ammo because I couldn't find any period! There wasn't anything outstanding, just the same as a regular hollowpoint. If the price was half, it might be worth it, but not what I paid for it. Can buy 3 boxes of Winchester white box hollowpoints for what I paid for these.
Junk

Lots of misfeeds, and a couple of duds when testing. Wouldn't put my life on the line with this junk.

This stuff did not hold a candle to hydrashock and cost twice as much. I feel like a bafoon for spending up on a box. You guys must however read through these storys down below. One guy claims he shot through a Cat engine block Bwhahaha and the other claims he shot a haf of steer and it blew it apart were he could find nothing..Lol good stuff.

If you should use this ammo in a defense scenario I certainly hope you have access to a good attorney. You will need one. I find that the marketing for this ammo to be utterly immature and borderline offensive. (the two sexy armed models on the box is as childish as tasteless) Self defense is serious business. I recommend purchasing ammo from a manufacturer that has integrity.
ehhh...

Watermelons are far from real "melons" and as far as we could tell whether you used this ammo or Wolf ammo(and we all know their quality) the perp would be just as dead, however your pocket book would be a little lighter. As far as an organic target, we went a few slices of "salami" thicker and substituted it with a pork shoulder.. "bone in" and much like any other 9mm ammo, it punched straight through. We cut the roast in half along the wound channel to look for the reported 5" crater and found a 9mm hole the length of the roast. Solid targets reacted as described. For better or for worse I guess we did not quite get the "bang for the buck" we expected.

This ammo went through a 8x8 and exploded in a watermelon. I made a fake wall with insulation and it didn't go through. This is great home defence Ammo.
The best ammo ever

All that I have to say is this ammo is great. Forget about all of the other ammo out there, if you want a carry load this is the only one that you will ever need. Great for home defense also.

This ammo is unreal. I would feel sorry for someone on the receiving end of this 9mm ammo, it completely destroys any soft target.
Wow!

OK - I was really skeptical about this ammo and the price is really high but I picked up a couple of boxes just to try it out and see what all the hype was. This stuff is amazing. You can shoot at a metal plate from a couple feet away and no ricochet because the bullet becomes a cloud of powder on impact. But on a softer target (a watermelon) a single shot of 9mm just vaporized the melon. I have not tried any of the rifle DRT ammo and my experience with the 9mm handgun ammo is limited to just trying out 2 boxes on various targets but from my limited experience, I'd say this stuff is fantastic ammo.
