10mm gel tests

sqlbullet · February 07 2013 08:09:17 AM MST

In a 10mm gel test neither of those bullets is going to do well. I expect poor crimp on a .357" diameter bullet in a 10mm case, and if you manage to seat a .429" bullet, it won't ever chamber. ${$default_tongue_smiley}$

Anyone make a .400?

Not that I know of. You probably could run their 210 grain .410" bullet through a Lee push through bullet sizing die and get a .401" 210 grain.

But again, we aren't seeing core separations. Bonded cores, partitions, etc achieve better penetration in cartridges where cores were leaving the jacket. We don't have that issue, so it is an answer to a problem we don't have, and won't work any better than non-bonded bullets.

Do you believe they might result in more moderate expansion?

Any plans for a round or two this weekend? If you don't mind can you do the PBR 180 and 200 XTP next?

Probably Monday. Will do.

How did it go?

Raggedyman · February 19 2013 08:42:35 AM MST

Got delayed. Going today.

Cool!

When things free up and things start to roll I will send you some bonus rounds ${$default_grin_smiley}$

I have some DoubleTap 200gr Noslers that should be here soon, 180 Trident Zeros and Cor-Bon PowRballs I got in trade with David.

I would like to see the Corbon Powerball retested. I saw some Powerball gel tests on the net a while back and they didn't expand.

Their is a ton of ammo there in line. Soon I hope.

Intercooler · February 20 2013 05:14:51 PM MST

PBR 180gr Zero

Intercooler · February 20 2013 05:17:37 PM MST

Underwood 155 XTP

Intercooler · February 20 2013 05:29:27 PM MST

PBR 200 XTP

4949shooter · February 20 2013 08:28:50 PM MST

Good tests!

I am surprised that 155 XTP from Underwood only penetrated 11 inches. I wonder how the Hornady load would do?
