To keep everyone up to date on what's new, improved, or old but we haven't looked in for a time, Crazy Jay has been working overtime in cranking out velocity tables.
PMC Eldorado Starfire
150 grains, .357 magnum
Velocity from a 4" Ruger GP-100: 1237 fps average of 6 shots.
180 grains, .40 caliber S&W
Velocity from a 4" Glock 23: 1016 fps average of 10 shots
Velocity from a 3.5" Glock 27: 978 fps average of 10 shots
Federal HST
180 grains, .40 caliber S&W
Velocity from a 4" Glock-23: 1062 fps average of 10 shots
Velocity from a 3.5" Glock-27: 1011 fps average of 10 shots
Winchester Ranger T
180 grains, .40 caliber S&W
Velocity from a 4" Glock 23: 996 fps average of 10 shots
Velocity from a 3.5" Glock-27: 959 fps average of 10 shots
Not much of a difference in the .40 cal loadings, but it should be noted that the PMC .357 magnum offering is a very mild shooting cartridge, as is evidenced by the relatively low velocity. The expansion in ballistic gelatin is approximately .8" with 13 inches of penetration, making it a premier self-defense round.
