After posting yesterday about what bullet, I finally decided to go buy a box locally to test before possibly taking the plunge and purchasing online.
I opted on the:
Remington Golden Saber 124gr (NOT +P)
I returned home, and I made to jugs into wet packs, and I then added a jug full of water in the back to make an overall off 18" (12" of tight wet pack). Then, I placed 4 layers of denim up front to make it similar to an actual test. I shot 2 rounds from 7yds to test the POI, and it was dead on. I then proceeded to testing the penetration.
The 2 entrance holes
The expanded round with material it carried through
The test gun (Glock 19 Gen 4)
The bullet penetrated all the way to the back of the second wet pack. It tried pushing through the back, but the plastic kept it within. On a rough measurement of penetration, the round went 12 1/2" before screeching to a hault. The round showed a little bit of separation, but what do you expect from a NON bonded bullet.
The average expansion of the round was .615".
I know this was ONLY one shot, and I can't always expect the same results everytime (penetrate more or less, expand more or less, and/or not expanded at all).
This was just a small and brief test, and I hope y'all enjoyed.
God bless,
