Final P-3AT Hollowpoint Expansion ResultsOur range reopened today and we got a break in the weather. So I was able to complete the hollowpoint expansion tests with a good, really wet, newspaper wet pack. So these results are with five different brands. In honor of Midiman, I just went ahead and spent $75, don't know what to do with the left overs. The picture should be self explanatory. Probably the only thing I don't agree with Flyer on is CorBon JHP's. Just like he has bad luck with Remington, I have bad luck with CorBon. Same bad results with .380 that I had with .32. But retesting the Speer was better. Win Silvertips still best expansion but lower penetration. Remember, wetpack penetration is about 2/3 that of gelatin. Oh, by the way, there were no malfunctions with my P3AT during the entire test!! Checked for smileys along the way and none until after the test (the pistol was dirty) with some FMJ's...picture and comments down below. If you can't read some of the data please comment and I'll try to explain. The pic is not the best contrast but shows a good comparison. Recommendations down below also. og
