10mm Liberty 60 gr Fragmenting Monolithic Copper Hollow Point fired from 4.5" EAA Witness into calibrated 10% gelatin.

BB: 585.3 fps, 3.3"

Impact velocity: 2,323 fps
Penetration: greater than 7.5"
Retained weight: N/A
Max expansion: N/A
Min expansion: N/A


The shot curved sharply upward and left the block at about the 7.5" mark. Based on the size of the track and the impact velocity, I doubt it would have continued much farther had it stayed in the block. When I first watched the video while editing, it looked like you could see the bullet leave the block and hit the water jug but I think that was just a chunk of gelatin.

I have one round left so I may test this against body armor later. The velocity seems to indicate it has the potential to penetrate it.

I forgot to place denim but at that velocity, it wouldn't have made any difference.

Would make a good varmint bullet

That's screamin' fast, but I seriously doubt the round's ability to achieve adequate penetration on a real live human threat. Neat that more and more are playing with the 10mm and developing new loads with very unique characteristics, but I'll stick with my 180 gr. JHPs @ 1,400.
