240 gr PBR 240 gr JHP fired from 6" barrel Herter's single action revolver through four layers of denim into calibrated 10% ordnance gelatin. I *think* this is an XTP, but I can't confirm.

BB: 593.4 fps, 3.1"

Impact velocity: 1,532 fps
Penetration: 14.6"
Retained weight: 224.8 gr
Max expansion: 0.862"
Min expansion: 0.566"

Nice test, Andrew, and glad to have you back posting your results.

That's going to be a pretty effective round, but the recoil? Ouch.

I'd be interested in the velocity you can get out of a carbine (if you have a .44 mag carbine). My guess is 1800 fps or better.

Yeah, I don't think it would be my first choice for personal defense, but it is a pretty impressive load. I don't have a .44 carbine yet, but I'd like to get one. Maybe I can do a Patreon campaign for one.
