Just to demonstrate how anal I can get I test h.p. handgun bullets
for expansion from my various revovlers & pistols.
Back in the day h.p. bullets often would not expand at all until
Super Vel came out with lighter & faster handgun loads.
Today it's hard to find h.p. bullets that won't expand quite well.
A notable exception being some .40 S&W bullets made by Previ that I foudn at Wallmart. They acted like hardball.
I used to go to the trouble of brewing up b-gel but it got
expensive, messy, & a lot of trouble to make.
I was shooting the bull with Mass about that several years ago & he told me of a young copper that compared b-gel medium to plastic gallon jugs of water and determined there is no real difference between the 2 mediums.
I've been shooting water filled gallon pastic jugs ever since.
I do this mostly for the heck of it & found that almost all
of today's h.p. handgun bullets do a nice job.
If I ever get into a fight with a gallon jug I feel confident I might win.
