And read why you should avoid the 180s in the 40S&W. What do you think?
Much ado about nothing?
I keep reading the 165s don't expand/penetrate enough, but the ones I have tested myself sure do (165 Gold Dot, Golden Saber, Supreme SXT, PMC JHP). Gel results I've seen for all of them have been 12+/.65+. The Fed 165 HS/EFMJ penetrated fine too, though it expanded less than the others (.60-.62).
The 155s? Some of them dip under 12 inches at times (Silvertip, Gold Dot) but the HS, XTP, Remington and Federal are OK (12-14/.64+). The INS/BP got 12.75/.72 w the Remington 155 JHP. Know of a shooting where one entered above the armpit on one side, went across destroying the top of the heart, and exited the other side; can't do much better?
