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;

I was quite impressed with this product. You get nice even expansion with no jacket separation and very little loss of weight in either gun. Pleasant to shoot. For a modest cost of roughly 57 cents per round it is a good choice for the budget minded shooter.

I've been a fan of 'budget' type offerings that one can more readily afford to occasionally shoot in their CCW. Have you reviewd PMC's 115jhp in the copper and black colored box?
 
No, haven't shot that one. I was mostly concentrating on 124gr loads this time around. This spring I might get after some 115gr loads.
