Just came back from the range where I spent a pleasant afternoon with my son, both of us shooting 9mm's.

My reloads in both guns, his a Glock and mine a Norinco CZ clone. The bullet was a polymer coated, 124 gn conical nose in front of a HS6 load.

Noticed for the first time that the holes punched in heavy card targets were different from the two guns. Barrels are both about 5 inches.

The Norinco (said to have a chrome lined barrel) punched holes with little radial tearing whereas the Glock punched much more ragged holes.

Didn't have a camera but has anyone an explanation for this?
