Underwood loaded 140 gr Lehigh Defense Controlled Fracturing Bullet fired from 4.5" EAA Witness through four layers of denim into calibrated 10% gelatin. BB: 600.2 fps, 3.6" Impact velocity: 1,432 fps Penetration of the base: 19.9" Retained weight: 81.4 gr One petal penetrated approximately 10.5" and the other two both penetrated approximately 6.5" There was no expansion, of course. The recovered base measured 0.393" in diameter and 0.344" long. The petals weighed 19.3 gr, 19.4 gr, 19.4 gr and one of them measured 0.369" x 0.336" x 0.150" |

That wouldn't do anything for me..doesnt look like it penetrates deep enough on the petal pieces, maybe if all 3 petals had gone 12+......

It penetrates deeply enough to reach vitals and while the petals don't meet the 12" minimum, they do go deep enough that they should be effective in the majority of situations. |

I don't know if it's fair to compare this to the .300 Blacksnot version. Probably not much correlation. Your point that neither has been adequately tested stands, though.
I do think that this load would have a high probability of stopping a threat in a timely manner, despite its atypical performance. |

I wouldn't mind it for a bear round, but I would worry thats a pretty light hunk left after the petals peel off to use for a bear round.. I think the hard cast 200 grainers are a better choice... |

That's just the thing. I wouldn't choose it for large animal defense. A 220 gr hard cast would be a much better choice and would drive a lot deeper. I wouldn't choose it for personal defense. The area of the largest disruption doesn't penetrate to the 12" minimum and the base exceeds the 18" maximum by a fair margin. A 165 gr Gold Dot would disrupt more tissue at the 12" depth and would present less risk to uninvolved parties.
I think it would make a better personal defense load than a 220 gr hard cast and a better large animal defense load than a 165 gr Gold Dot. In other words, it doesn't do any one thing that well but I think it does a variety of things kinda-sorta okay. If you want a round that would penetrate more than a jacketed hollow point AND create more disruption than a solid, this might be the ticket. |

He kept saying his ballistic gel was "FBI Certified" and after I asked him multiple times what that was and to show proof he got pissed. Then I got called unprofessional and they said I was "starting drama for no reason" because I called him out on it on his Instagram page  I guess falsely claiming the government has certified a product you sell is no big deal to them lol. |

I realize this is an apples to dump trucks comparison, but this load shows an area of tissue disruption that extends about as far and the core is half the size, half the weight, and only makes it 14". Would you say this is garbage too?

I'm not giving up my Gold Dots for personal defense or my 200 gr XTP for woods defense, but I do believe that this ammunition might not be as worthless as other over priced gimmicks, hydroknocking notwithstanding. I'm no expert myself, so my comments are purely speculative but I would like to hear what the real experts have to say about it. |

While there are those that like and want lighter bullets for their 10mm's, I am not one of them. Give me a well constructed 180 or higher weight bullet and I am happy. Yes I do carry my G20sf daily and am pleased with the heavier bullets.

My favorites are 165 gr Gold Dot at about 1,300 fps for personal defense in town, 200 gr XTP at about 1,200 fps for general woods defense, and 220 gr hard cast for large animal defense. |
