10mm gel tests

I performed three 10mm gel tests yesterday (Sig V-Crown, OATH Halo, and DRT). As I finish the videos, I'll post them here but they'll remain unlisted until their scheduled publishing date. Feel free to share links to this forum/thread, but please do not share direct links to the videos until they are published. Thank you for your support and for being an awesome community.

Very nice video shoot! I spoke with Sierra Bullets and they are making the V Crown bullets for SIG Sauer.
Thanks!

Wow!
I didn't like the jacket separation (allllmmmmooosstt shed it's jacket) BUT results in ballistics gel were impressive as hell.

Thanks again for doing these (and sharing) tests Raggedyman!!!

Looks like a traditional cup and core design with scores. I'd say that it is generally a decent design given its ability to perform at 10mm velocity. Not many can keep up without fragmenting. Just a touch on the mild side for velocity, bit still respectable from a big manufacturer. Definitely not a
.40 +p load.

Thanks for the test. Hey guys is this our new self defense round ? And I wonder is this better than my Underwood 180 gr Delta Elite Gold Dot load at 1240 fps.

I thought it did very well but would like it to be closer to advertised velocity. Quite nice all the same though.

Not much penetration there.

Would be good for coyote.

Looks about like it did when I tested it. I'm sure that adding the word "tactical" to the box increased the dynamic killification by a factor of eleventy, though.

very much a hype. Like the Taurus Judge.

The Sig round, would they be tested out of the 5" Sig giving advertised result? That's some nasty looking gel result.

Roger that. Four layers of denim is an IWBA protocol and there are a lot of bullets that don't do too well through it. Newer designs handle thick clothing much better. Obviously it wouldn't have made any difference with a soft point but I think it's a good idea to maintain consistency as much as I can.

I have yet to read the entire thread but guessing you haven't tested the new Le High 115 grain Penetrator load (10MM, 1700 FPS) ? Would love to see that..

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
