| Lists on the subject | |
The .400 CorBon cartridge is a cartridge for pistols introduced in 1997 . The developer and president of CorBon, Peter Pi, transformed the cases of the .45 ACP cartridge into bottle neck cases for 10 mm bullets . The large volume of the cases combined with a relatively small bullet enables the approximate performance of the .41 Magnum cartridge to be achieved.
Since the cartridges do not require high gas pressure, they can be fired from almost all .45 ACP caliber weapons without any problems. All that is required is a corresponding run .
The name CorBon (also Cor-Bon) is derived from the English words core (for projectile core ) and bonded (connected). The bullet jacket and the lead core are connected to one another using a special adhesive process.
Factory cartridges (only with hollow point bullet ) are offered with the following performance data:
135 grs (8.75 g) with 442 m / s and an energy of 855 joules
155 grs (10.0 g) with 405 m / s and an energy of 820 joules
