Thanks for posting, Intercooler. Here's the embed:

Interesting results. I was under the impression that 115 gr 9mm never met the 12" standard.

BP version. I think Raggedyman possibly ran a couple I sent him as well.

How can I send you guys some 10 ammo to test ?  I have Swamp Fox 180 gr Gold Dots 175 gr Silver Tips and 200 gr xtp's.
Underwood 180gr  DE load in Gold Dots and Noslers.

Look through this thread:

http://10mm-firearms.com/factory-10mm-ammo/10mm-gel-tests/

Pretty sure you will find results for the loads you list there.

[Intercooler]

Yup.

Raggedyman also has a huge backlog of 10mm there to test in all flavors as well.

[Raggedyman]

sqlbullet and Intercooler are both correct. That said, if you have something different that hasn't been tested, post it and if the other guys are really interested, I might be able to move it up. I'm not trying to blow you off at all but through Intercooler's, Shadow's and other members' generosity, I have A LOT of loads to test. The vast majority of the loads that I have tested were provided by Intercooler so be sure to thank him for his substantial contribution. Then there is all the work he's done on velocity testing and putting together the 10mm master sheet (below). We are at a point now where it's getting pretty easy to predict what a given bullet weight is likely to do at a given velocity and I think that's pretty cool.

Yea many sell the 38Spl short on its performance, was surprised the bullet didn't expand, possibly plugged HP?

Thanks again for great work!  The new gel looks great too.

[Raggedyman]

Absolutely agree but .38 spl is border line in its ability to expand when a short barrel through heavy clothing. The same could certainly be true of other pistol cartridges.

I see a little denim circle at the front of many bullets recovered from gel if they don't turn and travel sideways. All JHP handgun ammo is clogged by denim but good designs at adequate velocity expand despite clothing. High velocity (ahem, 10mm) seems make up for poor design to some extent and allow a bullet to expand anyway.

Have you had a chance to test the Hornady XTP against the HAP ? I am wondering if there is a penetration difference since the HAP doesn't have any of the skiving or wrinkles to help the expansion. I ran through your listings on the cheat sheet by Intercooler, but I only saw listings for the XTP

[Raggedyman]

Yup. It's on my channel.

Sorry, just not finding the test for the Hornady Action Pistol (HAP) component.

[Raggedyman]

I'm sorry. I food test our but I did not post a video. I think because my camera failed. I have some pics and test data inn my pc at home. Short story is that it did not expand. I Mau have posted the results in one of the other gel test threads. I'll try to remember to look up the pics and data when I get home.

Thanks, I was starting to wonder if it would be a good CXP2 game bullet.
