Anyone ever dump a 175 grain Silvertip out of a .41 into ballistic gel?
Dragged out the 57 while having a .22 revolver day with the kids and shot one into a row of gallon jugs covered with four layers of old canvas Dickies work pants. It definitely got me curious about a proper test and I'll also have to try a 180 grain Barnes all-copper bullet into refilled milk jugs. As it is, the 175 shredded the first two bottles, split the third wide open from top to bottom and settled in the fourth where it had poked a large and ragged hole.
With a 130 grain HST +P from a 4" S&W model 10 (same penetration after same fabric) and Winchester .380 SXZ from a SCCY CPX-3 (same fabric but went through five, bounced off sixth, and found a couple feet away) for comparison. Because those were the loads I dumped into my remaining jugs to avoid repacking all that weight.
