I just ordered some of this ammo (IMI Razor Core) and I will be shooting it of a 10.25" barrel. I was wondering what range will this round cease to reliably fragment out of my short barrel and what range will it cease to tumble on impact? I have looked online and I am not satisfied with the vast number of different answers I get.
 
If it has the cannelures around the projectile, then it's right about 1900 fps if I remember correctly
 
It does. Can you list some sort of source? Noy that I don't believe you I just wanna read it for myself.
 
Not an answer in terms of distance, but a practical one.

I only care that it fragments at CQB distances which any decent bullet will out of a 10.5." Beyond CQB distances, they'll all wound and really mess with the enemy's ability to put accurate fire on me after I hit them.

It should tumble at any distance, the fragile, hollow tip is going to snap off pretty easy.
 
I remember that this has come up several times on ar15.com and out of an AR pistol or SBR with a 10.5 to 11 inch 1/7 twist barrel a 77 grain SMK reliably fragments at between 50-60 yards and closer.

Several posters used wet-pack phone books, milk jugs filled with water and one used gel.

Should come up on an image search on Google.
