First I do forensic exam of the ammunition. Next I shoot a group while chronographing with each gun. 10 yards with the SIG, three rounds and 15 yards with the G3, five rounds. Chronograph is a Oehler 35P
Then the ammunition is shot out of each gun into a 55 gallon plastic barrel of water. The bullets are then recovered, photographed and then measured for expansion. In cases where the bullet fragments and loses its jacket, a weight is taken with all the recovered material and also a weight taken with just the lead core.
Here is the link to all the photos of the review;

9mm NOSLER Defense 124gr +P — Postimages

Data Sheet



This is some pleasant shooting ammunition. It is branded as +P but there isn't anything +P about it. The advertised velocity is 1200 fps, but these two guns yielded nothing close to that. The bullet is bonded and there was no jacket separations but there was quite a bit of fragmentation. Expansion adequate and accuracy good. Pricing on-line for this. ammunition varied from around $1.15 to $2.00 per round. Watch the shipping costs.
