More 9mm ammo tests on the way

[J.P.]

I'm going to be lining up some more wetpack tests of popular 9mm loads.

Here's what I have so far:
Thanks to donations by a very generous GlockTalk member,these are already on the table:

Ranger T 127gr +p+ and 147gr

golden saber 124gr +p and 147gr

Hydra-shok 147gr

Winchester white box 115gr and 147gr

Federal HST 124gr and 147gr



Others I have lined up are......

Gold Dot 124gr and 115gr

CorBon 115gr +p and 125gr +p

Hornady TAP 124gr and 147gr

If anyone has any interest in other 9mm rounds,let me know and I'll try to get them.


I'm planning to do a test in wetpack and wetpack covered in 4layers of denim.
I'm also toying with the idea of using bone as well but it will depend on if I can find enough of the right kind between now and the testing.

Of course I'll post cool pics when the testing is complete. ;)

I'd like to see what the Aguila IQ 65gr at 1550fps/347fpe does, I'll see if I have still have some laying around.

Got me to looking in my old ammo bag.

I found some OLD CorBon 9mm...mfg. @ 1993. Got some 147gr+P XTP-HP (Says 1100 FPS on box), and some 115gr +P (1350 FPS?? Can't remember...) out of the box.

You're welcome to shoot/have any or all for your testing.

I remember my Beretta wouldn't cycle either but my Glock 19 did both okay.

Let me know if you're interested in shooting these. I'll make arrangements to get them to you.

Oh, and 2 boxes of Winchester .40 Black Talon....

update:
Mike shovel of Cor-Bon has donated a box of the new DPX ammo!
He knows I've had trouble with cor-bon in the past so the DPX must really be something.....we'll see.

Sounds great what will be the test weapon(s) and will you give us a reliabilty report on the rounds/weapons used?

[J.P.]

It will be a Glock 17 or 19.
Of course there will be no reliability issues with the Glocks.

I would not expect any issues with the Glock but there could always be issues with ammo! bad primers, out of spec tolerances...ect....ect.

I'm not expecting any ammo problems either,but hey.....you never know.

Just to establish a point of reference could you include some of the cheap CCI blazer from academy? I know it's not a preferred personal defense round but i'm just curious as to what the results would be.
