Gelatin test results

And thank you for your support.

Thanks for testing that man! I love the performance it's everything I hoped for.

I just finished moving to Utah and haven't been able to say thanks until now.

That Ranger T is a badass, but I think 147 gr might be on the ragged edge of the low end of velocity for it. I sorely want some 165, 180, and 200 gr 0.400" Ranger T as componenets.

Nice. One test i would like to see is heavy garment test. Winter clothes of various sorts. I would be more than happy to supply ammo.

The FBI heavy clothing protocol is probably what you're looking for.

The gelatin block is covered with four layers of clothing: one layer of cotton T-shirt material (48 threads per inch); one layer of cotton shirt material (80 threads per inch); a 10 ounce down comforter in a cambric shell cover (232 threads per inch); and one layer of 13 ounce cotton denim (50 threads per inch). This simulates typical cold weather wear. The block is shot at ten feet, measured from the muzzle to the front of the block.

This protocol is more complicated to set up and more expensive but the IWBA standard of four layers of denim is a more difficult test for projectiles to pass. Bullets that perform well through the four layers of denim also do well through the FBI heavy clothing standard but not always the other way around. For amateur testers like myself, the IWBA standard makes a lot of sense.

Thank You. When the 10 is carried, it's for the most part for me fall/winter time.

  I always like to compare Chronograph numbers. He saw 1047 FPS average out of a G17 4.5" barrel. I saw 1054 FPS out of the XD 4" and 1095 FPS out of the Limited 4.75". That's in the ballpark!

Glad to see Pocket Guns and Gear ammunition test again; it's been couple months.

The 147gr +p HST is my personal choice CC during the winter months when I'm carrying 9mm.

Well, this isn't gel, but...

Nice post!

Thank you. Now back to actual gelatin testing:
