Hello
The 45 AUTO reviews that I did were shot with a Walther PPQ 45 with a polygonal 4**¼ inch barrel.

First I do forensic exam of the ammunition. Next I shoot a group while chronographing. Targets were were set at 15 yards. Chronograph is a Oehler 35P

Then one round of each ammunition brand is shot into a 55 gallon plastic barrel of water. The bullet is 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;

Data Sheet



I must comment on the primers. In both the 185gr and the 230gr BONDED loads, the primers were highly unusual. At first glance, I thought they were small pistol primers inside a collar for a large primer pocket. Well, that is creative, but that was not the case. Once the primers were removed it became apparent that the primers were a little bit too large in diameter for the primer pocket, so when seating they were shoved in there with such force that a ring was swagged.. You can see in the photos what this looked like. The ammo fired and functioned fine, no issues. I just had never seen this before in factory ammo.

Aside from that, accuracy good. Velocity a bit slow I believe. Expansion was not quite as good as the HTP ammo, but it did expand. This seems to be a true bonded bullet as there was not any jacket separation.
