MP 359-125 with the penta pins. Sport pistol powder.
CZ P-01 Omega.
Bullet shown beside a 147 HST for comparison.
Only 10” of penetration in bare gel but super consistent from shot to shot. I’m thinking if I slow this down a bit or maybe try the same alloy with the regular round hollow point it might slow down the expansion and get better penetration.
I have to compare the hollow point pins though because the round is very similar size. I’m guessing the round expands a little slower than the penta due to not having the sharp corners that turn into petals.
Oh and retained weight was virtually 100%.
I didn’t weight this alloy before shooting but the harder alloy was about 129 grains. This being softer I figured it’s a few grains heavier. The recovered mushrooms weight 129.5 average. Close enough.
