After spending a substantial amount of time on the LuckyGunner Labs URL, I've come to the conclusion this is one of the best, and most comprehensive ballistic websites I've come across : )

True Dat!
Nothing else like it out there. Obviously, their business is selling ammunition but their even handed, constant material is an EXCELLENT resource. You spend a lot of time reviewing their data, hit the button and the ones you like are in your shopping cart! Smart.
When people complain Clear Ballistics doesn't exactly, precisely replicate actual wounding from a projectile (no skin, bones, etc, etc). True but.....
Visually we can compare and measure each specimine against each other in the same, consistent media. Reducing the limitless variables down to identical standards.
Absolutely
I'm not much on the value of gel tests vs real world but they pretty much mirror everything I've experienced with a 9mm. We used the Remington 115gr HP for decades on hogs, coyotes, just putting down a wounded animal. Most commonly you could reload the same bullet again. Nothing changed with it. It would punch a hole and that was all. Conversely, I've been loading the 124gr HST 9mm bullet and it performs like a HP bullet should. Great rollbacks and the diameter all but doubles. When American Reloading had so many of them I bought a bunch at under 40 bucks for 500 delivered. I won't need anymore 9mm bullets in my lifetime. I also bought when they had them, the 180gr 40 caliber HST. I still have over a thousand of those but have not yet shot anything animal with the 10mm. As soon as the weather turns a little cooler, a trip to the ranch is in order. At my age, watching the 10 PM news on TV and seeing the thermometer still on 125F is just not in my roundhouse anymore.
