Underwood 158 gr Gold Dot fired from 4" S&W Model 13 and 16" Rossi M92 carbine into calibrated 10% gelatin.
BB: 585.3 fps, 3.3"
Revolver results:
Impact velocity: 1,213 fps
Penetration: 20.9"
Retained weight: 158.1 gr
Max expansion: 0.612"
Min expansion: 0.494"
Carbine results:
Impact velocity: 1,967 fps
Penetration: 12.4"
Retained weight: 95.2 gr
Max expansion: 0.683"
Min expansion: 0.531"
I forgot to place denim but I have never seen a Gold Dot fail to expand except for very low velocity .38 spl. Denim might have increased penetration figures slightly.
