The round in the picture is a Speer Gold Dot .38+P fired from a 2"revolver. Ballistic medium was a wax-base, approx. 2X density of standard ballistic gel.
Penetration was 101/2"
A couple of notes;
This modification (HC), can be applied to literally ALL calibers, ALL brands, both handgun and rifle.
The other is if you look closely at the fired round, you'll notice the petals are extended outward, rather than curling back. that would translate to a wider permanent cavity. We got the same results time and time again.
The same stock 'control' round, opened and folded back almost touching the bullet body.
