I may have to test for accuracy as well, in the video I tested pretty much only for penetration, shooting at a relatively large target from a relatively close distance.

The pistol ammo is a funny thing, from what I've read from some sources there isn't good data on the original round and so the commercial makers deliberately make very light loads to err on the side of caution. According to the PPU website, the performance of their round is just slightly weaker than .32acp.

At some point in the near future, I might have to compare the military 7.62x38R against 9mm.
