Website loaded with ballistic information.

[SomeKid]

Hey guys, does anyone know of a website where I could see example of various rounds being fired into ballistic gelatin?

Specifically, I am looking into Federal Hydra-Shok 135 and 155 grains in .40 caliber.

I do not want a 'what bullet to use' thread war. I just want some help finding the information.

While I would like to see numbers (FPS, penetration, and whatnot) I would strongly like to see the gelatin so I can tell what would best protect me.

Thank you all.

Not sure for your specific ammo request, but here are a few links I've found along the way...

Check this out: (w/ pix of gel tests of various ammo - read the whole thread)

Also, when I was at the Rally Point on Aug 20, Mike from Cor-bon brought some gel and people were shooting their JHP and +p ammo into it for personal tests. I could try to track down the pictures and data from that (another guy took the pictures). Very informative to watch in person. Most of the ammo tested had 11"-14" penetration at about 6'-8' distance, and that's through 4 layers of denim.

Also, I'm not sure what these sites have exactly, but with some digging, maybe you'll find something.

Let me know if any of these has what you're looking for.

Kudos my man, that first link was almost exactly what I was looking for.

They did not have the exact bullets I carry, but they came close. I can make a reasonable discernment however, that since mine are lighter in grains, they will have more fps, but being .40 and since HST seem to have rather consistent expansion rates, I can expect to see good performance.

From the looks of it, as long as I stay away from 9mm crap, I will be fine. Thanks a bunch bud.
