    Would have been interesting to see what a hollow point cast projectile could have done. I cast up a MP 124.360 the mold shipped with 3 pin sets. 2 of the 3 create a hollow point 1 is your standard hollow point and the other makes a octagon shape hollow point or what MP calls a penta point. That ones expansion is interesting to say the least it literally opens like a flower 🌸.

    I enjoy all your videos, but this one was closer to home for me. I load the magazines of my 9mm EDC with FMJ and JHP. The first two rounds 115 grain FMJ, the third round 124 grain JHP HST and alternating after that. (I don't know if that's a weird thing to do.) I liked seeing the penetration of the FMJ after going through bone and I'm glad you included the results from the hollow point as well. Why do I alternate? If I ever have to face anything, I don't know what it might be so I feel I'm better prepared. Either way, your test showed that both rounds are sufficient for my intentions.

    • @thegundungeon
      @thegundungeon  3 месяца назад +1

      I know several people that alternate rounds in the mag, I’d suggest running a few mags with however you stack them just to be sure feeding isn’t going to be affected, I doubt it would be but different overall length rounds in the mag poses just enough curiosity in my mind where I’d want to make sure it isn’t going to be an issue.

      @@thegundungeon I’ll definitely be doing that. I initially had an issue with the JHP in the Canik METE MC9. Manually pulling the slide back and letting it go the rounds would jam up against the feed ramp. Regular FMJ didn’t have that issue. The hollow points weren’t catching on the edge of the feed ramp. Just jamming up right in the center. After a second or two, pressure from the recoil spring shoved the round into the chamber. I resolved the issue by polishing the feed ramp to a mirror finish, but it does need a live fire test. I’ll be testing with a mag of JHP and then one with alternating rounds. (I compared the feed ramp on the Canik with my Glock 19 - which didn’t have this issue with the JHP - and found that the feed ramp on the Glock had slightly more angle. That steeper feed ramp on the Canik allowing the JHP to jam against it.)

    A surprising test result for sure. Perhaps the bone seriously affected the outcome. I've seen tests with plain gel where FMJ tends to go several inches further than JHP, but the hard cast goes even deeper. Though I've always wondered how much better a FMJ would do if it was flat nose and had as hot of a powder charge that is typical with many of these hard cast bullets.

    I missed this expectation with the hardcast. I expected most of both blocks. I am personally unimpressed. If I was using this for big animal defense expecting extra penetration I would be disappointed. In fact, I would think a hot 124 fmj would be more adequate. I know hard cast 44 magnum penetration is much greater than typical hollow points. Thank you for demonstration.
