Well I ducked the rain showers long enough to do some testing.
That's the spit open test tube with a 124 coated Lee 9mm truncated cone where it stopped. Once in a while you get this clear split right on the boolit path to see where it ends up.
The two 45's I tested. The 230 TC went slick and clean through the first tube I tried, so I stuck two end-to-end to catch the slug in the second one. Not surprising that a solid, hard, 45 would penetrate that far.
