10mm gel tests

9122 XTP's? Don't have any of those.

In 200 XTP we have a variety of speeds and results here. It looks like PBR's 200 @ 1200 FPS is getting close to all out of it. The GAS Ammo 200's I sent Chopinbloc will give us a slower speed for it around 1000 FPS. I can't remember if I sent an Underwood 200 XTP which may be a tad faster than PBR?

That's them. I don't think we can find any right now either.

From what I remember, Kevin was loading the 200 XTP's pretty hot, so I would say they are a good 60 fps faster than the PBR.

LOL. You beat me to it. I had a lot of school work yesterday and ran out of time to post the videos after uploading. Thank you.

So many more interesting ones to do too! I think I sent enough of that. 22 to do pistol and rifle. That will be interesting. I think that is the baddest out there.

I know your have the .22's slated. What other 10's there now look interesting to do? Tuesday I will send the DT stuff.

The .40 version of the PPU 180gr JHP. Going slower and still no expansion:

REDLINE · March 02 2013 11:07:36 AM MST

That's sad. I guess the Serbians haven't quite figured out how to get hollow points to expand. If those bullets had much of a chance of expanding at all then I would have thought the gel would have made it as easy as any media for them to do so. Can't imagine water would have made any more of a difference, but in the real world it clearly wouldn't matter anyway. Maybe it's just the 40 S&W velocity level. It would be interesting to see how that bullet does at Nuclear 10mm levels from a Contender or Carbine into the gel.

It's been done. Chopinbloc did it already.

Yep....and it expanded like a full metal jacket bullet.

What barrel length?

Intercooler · March 02 2013 05:55:17 PM MST

He uses a Witness 4.5" barrel.

4949shooter · March 02 2013 07:21:45 PM MST

The PPU is a rather low velocity round for 10mm. The bullet might react differently if it were driven close to 1300 fps.

REDLINE · March 03 2013 10:46:45 AM MST

Right, 4.5". That isn't Contender or Carbine length like I mentioned.

Intercooler · March 03 2013 11:04:06 AM MST

Yea don't know anyone with one of those. David Sneed could do it with his Mectech if he decides to do gel. In 10mm though most of us think pistol versus a rifle barrel lengths.
