Absolutely.
The only way to know what a specific type or lot of ammunition will do in a specific gun is to fire it from that specific gun.

Marketing doesn't need to be based in reality. It just needs to induce a 'need' where one didn't exist before in order to be successful.

Using manufacturer's 10% ordnance gelatin test data, I'll attempt to provide some reference points for you.
116886
ΔE15 = -320.13 fpe
116887
ΔE15 = -295.25 fpe
116888
ΔE15 = -335.23 fpe
Yes, there a simple mathematical formula that allows for the correction of non-standard ordnance gelatin. The equation is found in MacPherson's book, Bullet Penetration. Out of respect for...
You're welcome. Hopefully, I can help you get ''out of the weeds'' regarding the ΔE15/EKE parameter and what it means. There's a lot that you're attributing to the parameter that shouldn't be.

I'll do the best that I can.
Predicted cavity volume is computed by multiplying the square of the expanded bullet's cross-sectional radius, r2, times π (3.1415927), times the length, L, of the...
The chronograph used to obtain the test data (impact velocity) has been validated against a Lab Radar Doppler unit on numerous occasions and once—just recently—against a Garmin Xero C1: it has always...
We tested the Federal .45ACP 230-grain HST JHP a few years back out of an HK45 (4.41" barrel) with excellent results—

I'm hoping that there is very little loss of life even though it appears that there will be quite a few lives lost due to this tragedy.
I s'pose that 895 is about to get a whole lot busier before...
Well, of course it (momentum) does mean something, John—we agree!
Momentum is simply one part of a much, much larger picture. Considered independently of one another each piece of the picture...
As SCCY Marshal pointed out, momentum (p) is nothing more than the mass (m) of an object multiplied by its velocity (v) and is the first derivative of kinetic energy—a quantity that was first...
Blackhawk makes a durable, reasonably sized, heavy nylon bag—the Sportster is large enough to carry several boxes of ammo, a table top tripod, rags, a lubricant bottle, rags, small tools, stapler,...
I think that you might be misunderstanding the point that I was making; I will clarify...
I reviewed the Lucky Gunner video again.
Baker's statement, taken word for word from the attached...
It is encouraging to see that Lucky Gunner seems to be using shear-validated 10% ordnance gelatin. It would be nice to see them depart from the use of the Clear Ballistics goo and actually do their...
Both Knox & Kind and VYSE ordnance gelatin are acceptable test mediums; ''store bought'' gelatin can be made to work, too, so long as it shear validates correctly when struck by a 0.177-caliber steel...
Forced to rely on a .22LR for defense, the LCR22 is what I'd choose for its ability to cycle past a 'dud' round with another pull of the trigger. A ''reload'' would be a second LCR22 carried off-side.
I think that there is a place for the .22LR with some caveats.
CCI Mini-Mags are very, very good in terms of ignition reliability. I've fired maybe 10,000 in the last year and a half and had zero...
It is nice! Hope springs eternal. :)
I've had the same thoughts.
It would seem that domestic ammunition manufacturers have nearly eliminated the practice of publishing their 10% ordnance gelatin data for public consumption. What...
Well said.
You're probably already aware of this, but Dr. Roberts has spoken to the issue before:
What an awesome line. :cool: With—or without—your permission, I just might need to...
Thank you for your clarification as to why 10% Type-250A ordnance gelatin is a valid soft tissue simulant. There appear to be multiple competing 'narratives' being propagated across the 'net—driven...
I'd very much like to see that.
Pictures if you do, please. :)
Unfortunately, the 'net is awash in such bilge.
Yep! It's kind of like finding the puppy that your parents got you for Christmas lying dead under the Christmas tree. /sardonic humor
;)
Neither have I.
In fact, when tested from barrel lengths of 4.49" (Glock 17), 4.01'' (Glock 19), and 3.1'' (S&W Shield Plus) in correctly prepared 10% ordnance gelatin that shear validates within...
