10mm gel tests

[Raggedyman]

That's a very good point. Sometimes bullets can behave erratically and a one shot test might not show the whole picture. I think this test might be fairly representative of what this bullet does because it is consistent with the test of 165 gr Montana Gold in which I tested three shots.

I'm always willing to accept bullets or factory ammo for testing so long as the sender knows that might be a very time before i get to it, if ever. Intercooler and Shadow can attest to how long it takes me to get around to it. If that's okay with you, seems me a pm and I'll give you my address.

Maybe we need a Factory Ammo needed post in the effort to fill in the gaps of what's no longer available.
Examples;
Elite Ammo any and all bullet weights
SwampFox's various bullet weights...  165, 155, 135

I have swamp fox ammo 175 gr silvertips at 1360,  180 gr gold dots at 1320 and 200 gr xtp at 1240

sgtbones, I sent you a PM for documentation considerations.

I wish the 10mm hornady had gone about 16". im surprised it didnt since expansion was about .65 avg.  current carry load in g20sf though.

Is this your 2 legged defense load.

   I think this is pre-edit footage. It looked to go the distance and the bullet looked good. If 1329 was the velocity, it eclipsed what I received by a good bit. Maybe I should toss a couple more over next time to verify?

I was a little closer to the chrono than usual. It may have been an error. What was your velocity?

I know you have many more different ones to go but... how do you like these compared to Gold Dots and XTP's?

Those Golden Sabers are bad to the bone!

I didn't think these were bonded? I know they make a bonded version on some calibers, but not sure on the 10mm bullets.

What's not to like? Good penetration, huge expansion, and great weight retention. To be honest, I haven't seen many loads that didn't perform well in 10mm

Nice! Cool to see more people testing 10mm.
