triton 125/135gr.+p hi-vel, bhp or not?

[long shot]

Does this load use a bonded hp?I've heard people refer to this load as separating into 3 pieces like the quick-shok.One source was the 135gr .40 test that markCO performed,he's the moderator on glocktalk's .40 page.He stated in his tests that he had to measure different pieces to note penetration,and that weight retention for the largest pieces were between 20%-50%.He stated he used hi-vel in his tests,but this seems to be more like quick-shok performance.Also,does anyone have any data on this load,pen./exp./ret.weight ect.Any help on this subject would be appreciated.Thanks in advance...long shot!

The triton 135gr .40 in markCO's test's is not the rainer bhp used in the 9mm loads.I stand corrected.I would still like to know if anyone has any data on the 9mm loads mentioned.Thanks in advance...long shot

Which Load?

You've mentioned a few. Triton's .40 Hi-Vel & Quik-Shok, the one used by markCO and then some unmentioned 9 minimums.

The Triton Hi-Vel line used the Rainier Funnel Point bullet for some time. It is a bonded hollow point with a hex shaped cavity. That bullet was used in 9mm 115 and 125 grain weights. In .40 S&W it was used in 165 and 180 grain weights.

We phased out the Funnel Point bullets in favor of a jacketed hollow point made for us by Hornady. The new bullet was designed at Triton and is based on the jacket profile of an XTP. The bullet expands at low velocities yet holds together better at the higher velocities. It is much more accurate than the previous Funnel Point and just as destructive in gelatin.

The Quik-Shok line has always been a jacketed hollow point.
