Any pistol tests on the slate?

Probably not until I get through some more rifle and shotgun tests. I've been putting these off for a while and now I've got quite a few that I really want to do.

I like the Remington 12 buckshot, they load 12 pellets of #00 (most other manufactures only load 9 pellets of #00) and as you have shown Remington loads 27 of the #4 buck.

I have yet to chrono the handloaded 12 ga rounds I put together, Using a RP12 wad I can stack 10 #00 (I could get a 12 pellet load of 00 buck, 3x3x3x3 if I cut the petals off of the wad's shotcup.) or the Duplex Load consisted of 16 pellets total, 8 of #00 & 8 of #4 Buckshot over my Blue Dot loads.

Pretty damn decent results. Impressive wound track and excellent penetration depth. Would make good personal defence and medium game hunting round IMHO.

Really looking forward to your 123gr 7.62x39 S&B soft point test.

WOW! I would actually think about carrying that Extreme Shock Round!

Thanks for the Video!

No, thank you. I'll stick to Gold Dot or HST. Even if a bullet makes it to the 12" , it's not that useful if it is only the original size. I firmly believe that the best chance of stopping with a handgun bullet lies in rapid, wide expansion. Biggest diameter possible whill still reaching at least 12".

And of course, lots of holes in the right places. Thanks for posting, Intercooler.

handguns need weight retention, deep penetration AND expansion. lack of those 3 automatically rules a round out. Definitely stick to gold dot, HST, golden saber, pdx1, ranger, barnes xpb, certain XTP, and thats about it.

Outstanding!! ${$default_laugh_smiley}$

One test but results seem to indicate the Fusion 7.62x39 would be excellent hunting (up to medium game) or home defense round!

Read your recent article on AK-47 in home defense scenarios. This round would definitely appear to be very good choice for that purpose.

PS.
Keep em coming and THANK YOU for sharing your results!
