Ballistic gelatin test results : 10mm Auto [Archive] - THR


--------------------------

Double tap velocities are absolutely amazing, and most of their loads use the state of the art Speer Gold Dot bonded core hollowpoint.

I just ordered 100rds of the 124gr +P 9mm. The 115 is a little hotter, but they're still loading the Remington 115gr JHP in it. Mike at DT told me they're waiting on an order of 115gr Gold Dots before they start loading them again. The 115gr load makes an amazing 515ft-lbs of muzzle energy from a glock 17.

I also have 50rds of their 147gr FMJ-FN trail load too.

Note that 9mm DT ammo gives performance equal to many of the super hot DT .40, .357 Sig and .45 caliber loadings.
With today's ammo selection, for self defense, IMO 9mm is as good as anything else.

The 230gr .45ACP load is something else though.
