10mm gel tests

[Ramjet]

Perfect for SD purposes in populated areas and it is devastating on game more so than it shows in gel....

Lyman 10MM Devastator mould #401638

Who was the source of this bullet for the (amazing) gel test? If it's not asking too much I'd like to beg one or two so I can order up a custom mold, since these molds seem to be unobtanium.. please PM me if you can help, and thanks in advance. Alternately if anyone has the technical/dimensional specs for the mold, that would work

Captain, The Lyman Devastator 156 gr 10mm/40 cal mold was discontinued several years ago.  However there are mold makers that make HP designs and Erik of Hollow Point Mold service will modify and or repair molds.

Erik website; http://www.hollowpointmold.com/  here is a LEE mold he has instock; http://www.hollowpointmold.com/forsale/sale-pictures/?item=207

Never seen one of those before, Shadow, many thanks 

EDIT: I've ordered a 5 cavity Accurate Mold which I will send to Eric for a hollowpoint conversion. Should be close to the Devastator design. Will send some bullets to choppin' if he'll load them up and test

Aboslutely not. The penetration is totally inadequate for any defensive purpose and inhumane for animals larger than a coyote.

This is a 125gr:

I see they still never changed it on their site even after they told me it was indeed a 125gr. Nutty!

[Raggedyman]

That's pretty funny. I'll double check the packaging and pull a bullet, but 125 gr makes sense.

I think the core came out the top of the block, because something hit the top of the jug...

[Raggedyman]

Yeah, I saw that. Not sure if it was one of the "petals" or the core. In any case, I wouldn't count on it. Even if the core could go a perfect 14", if it takes a wonky curved path, that doesn't help you dig into the vitals of a bad guy.

I'm dying to see the 150gr nosler in a ballistic test. If anyone is willing to test it, I'll get a box of 150gr Underwood shipped to you. And yes, I made an account just to post this.

I'm dying to see the 150gr nosler in a ballistic test.

Me too.  For several years now, I've been alternating 150gr, 180gr, and 200gr DoubleTap Noslers in each of my mags for my 10mm Kimber Eclipse.  And I've just ordered some 135gr DoubleTap Noslers to try out ... I might add them to the alternation if I like them.

Personally I'd like to see the Underwood 115gr Extreme Defenders.  Going to do a Underwood buy tonight actually, Intercooler how many do you need to do a video?
