9mm 124 gr Federal Hydrashok fired from Glock 22 with Lone Wolf 9mm conversion barrel through four layers of denim into calibrated 10% gelatin.

BB: 588.4 fps, 3.7"


Impact velocity: 1,093 fps
Penetration: 15.1" of gel, found in first water jug.
Retained weight: 121.4 gr
Max expansion: 0.589"
Min expansion: 0.404"


*Please note that although this load performed adequately in this test, professional testing indicates it is more likely to fail to expand when fired through heavy clothing than more modern designs such as Gold Dot or HST.
