With all the sbr and pistol builds in consideration, I would like the omnibus short barrel defense round shoot off. I am talking all the TSX, gold dot, hornady sbr, mk262, etc put to the test in bare gel and through light to medium barrier. I know typical pistol barrels for 5.56 are 7-1/2", but could we go shorter to simulate some range? Anyone make a 4-1/2 or 5" 5.56 barreled upper? |

@bluefalcon have you tested 70gr barnes tsx 5.56? If not if I sent you a box would it be possible to get a video on the ammo?
Also saw 78gr barnes tsx on midway (unloaded projectiles) might grab a box whenever they're in stock and see what I can come up with for a load. Unless they're meant for something other than 5.56. Maybe barnes entry into the 224valkyrie game? |

So have you tested this manufactures ammo:
5.56mm 62 Grain Green Tip FMJ M855 IMI Ammo Made by Israel Military Industries I'm interested in the performance of the 62 grain green tip They all so manufacture a 5.56mm 55 Grain FMJ M193 IMI. If you all ready test 62 grain, Can you link me to the video? Thanks for your time! PITA45

Tacked in GD for today and added to beginning of this thread. Yes, it did quite well and I wish I had thought of that comparison when I shot the video. The penetration of the base wasn't quite what we've seen from Mk 318 but overall terminal performance is generally similar.

Hornady 62 grain FMJ might be interesting. I have seen another video which showed it expanded like a SP with 13+” of penetration.

I would like to see Hornady 55 gr V-Max as that is what I keep in my AR15 & LCAAP M118.
As for the 55 gr V-Max I know what you say about varmint loads but I live in a neighborhood with houses in all but one direction. In that direction there is a school across the street. My thinking is that should I graze of even miss I don't want rounds exiting my house at full power. However, that is just what I have and I am always considering my SD ammo choices. |

9mm, top three carry options in heavy for caliber, 147gr projectiles.
.40 S&W top three, 180gr. .45 acp, top three , 230gr All from the same length barrel, preferably 5", but 4.25" work. So many carry the 1911 5", so that would be good to do if you have 5" 9mm and .40SW as well. Then do the 4.25" or 4.0", even go to 3" if you have them all. I've looked all over and cannot find a gel test with all three with the same ammo, from the same barrel length on the same day. All you'll find is cement, wood, or pork, and while the pork ribs are good to see, you can't compare wound channels like you can in gel because they aren't clear and clean. Ammo would be Gold Dot, Ranger T, HST, bare, and with 4 layers of denim. |

Saw your Hornady 123 test for the 6.5 Grendel. Awesome. If you could, test the Speer gold dot 120 grain for the Grendel. Seems allot of folks have issues with the 123 gr pills. I moved to 120 grain see a big improvement.
