Hello
Most of the 9mm reviews that I did were shot with two guns.
A SIG 365 SAS, with a 3.1 inch barrel and a Taurus G3 with a 4 inch barrel.
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 WIN USA READY 124gr JHP — Postimages
Data Sheet
This is Winchester's offering featuring their
Hex-Vent Rigid Insert which they describe as; "Shields hollow point from obstruction while channeling material flow for positive bullet expansion". This product advertises 1200 fps and 1200 fps is what you get from a 4 inch barrel. You could expect a little more out of a longer barrel.
Expansion was fairly uniform with some fragmentation. I was not able to recover 100% of the original bullet weight, so there was some weight loss. There was no sign of jacket separation however so that is a plus.
Accuracy was quite good. Ammunition functioned flawlessly through both guns. Recoil nominal.
