Federal Bureau of Investigation handgun cartridges Test
« on: March 29, 2007, 12:53:03 AM »
The FBI did tests RE: To  evaluate total penetration, expansion, and retained weight in bare gelatin, and gelatin shielded by common barriers, to find out if the handgun cartridge produces the tactical penetration required.

Anyone know if this test is on line?

Thanks,

I think that is what you are looking for.
Do you know what they decided after all the testing?

Hodgdon, Lyman, Speer, Sierra, Hornady = reliable resources
so and so's pages on the internet = not reliable resources
Alway check loads you find on the internet against manuals.
NEVER exceed maximum listed loads.
