Remarks: Gelatin calibration corrected to 8.9cm in accordance with: "Figure 5-2, Velocity Variation Correction to Measured BB Penetration Depth." Bullet Penetration, MacPherson, Duncan, Ballistic Publications, El Segundo, CA, 1994, p. 84. Five shot average penetration depth and expanded diameter cannot be determined because shots #1, #3, #4 and #5 penetrated entire length of 18 inch gelatin block, exited, and were not recovered. Bullet #2 exhibited asymmetrical expansion due to jacket tearing away from lead core. |
