Until recently i have been using PMC 180 gn Starfire. I got decent accuracy out of my Glock -29 , and i could hit the chest of a standard b-27 sill. at 100yds with this round . I am now experimenting with the 175 gn Win STHP.This one has proven more accurate at more realistic ranges. But i still like to send them way down younder on occasion.

I am going to try the 135s and the 180 XTPs.
Here's the official DT gelatin results. REMEMBER THIS IS FOUR LAYERS DENIM AND TWO LAYERS COTTON. FBI uses only bare gelatin? (could be wrong) All of these tests were done using 10% ballistic gelatin provided by Vyse gelatin using all FBI protocols and 4 layers of denim and two layers of light cotton T-shirt in front of the gelatin. DoubleTap 9mm+P 115gr. Gold Dot JHP @ 1415fps - 12.00" / .70" 124gr. Gold Dot JHP @ 1310fps - 13.25" / .70" 147gr. Gold Dot JHP @ 1125fps - 14.00" / .66" DoubleTap .40 S&W Penetration / expansion 135gr. Nosler JHP @ 1375fps - 12.10" / .72" 155gr Gold Dot JHP @ 1275fps - 13.00" / .76" 165gr Gold Dot JHP @ 1200fps - 14.0" / .70" 180gr Gold Dot JHP @ 1100fps - 14.75" / .68" 200gr XTP @ 1050fps - 17.75" / .59" DoubleTap .357 Sig 115gr Gold Dot JHP @ 1550fps - 12.25" / .71" 125gr Gold Dot JHP @ 1450fps - 14.5" / .66" 147gr Gold Dot JHP @ 1250fps - 14.75" / .73" DoubleTap .357 Magnum 125gr. Gold Dot JHP @ 1600fps - 12.75" / .69" 158gr.

G17,20,21 etc For 10mm, note the velocities in a barrel less than the industry standard of 5". The 200gr XTP DT load beats Hornady's load by almost 250fps with a barrel .4" shorter. Pretty impressive. The 5" numbers with DT are even better. Can't wait to get my Para here so I can start running DT. |
