9mm Luger (9x19) Ballistics Gel Results

Nice tests! Really good results too! Any chance of you doing 5.7 X 28 ?

I don’t have access to one or the ammo so it’s not terribly likely to be honest.

Nice! Do you make the gel?

Yep. It’s quite simple really. Only real issue is having a large enough fridge/enough fridge space available to cool them down to solidify them. But they can be melted and recast many many times before they get “past their prime” and need tossed.

That’s awesome! I need to look that up. Thanks for all the info you post!

That's some nice expansion on those HSTs. Too bad the didn't travel very far.

One thing to keep in mind is that this is 20% gel, the international standard, versus the fbi 10% standard. So, if shot into 10% gel, supposedly, the math is to add 30% additional penetration as compared to 20% gel. That is at least what I have repeatedly seen on the various websites and forums

my 9mm defensive ammo is the Black Hills Honey Badger 100gr round. It was pretty impressive in their gel tests. I now have the Honey Badger round in my 45 and 380's
