Reed's 180 gr & 165 gr Golden Saber fired from 4.5" barrel EAA Witness through four layers of denim into calibrated 10% gelatin.

BB: 585.5 fps, 3.6"


180 gr results:
Impact velocity: ~1,211 fps
Penetration: 14.4"
Retained weight: 179.6 gr
Max expansion: 1.058"
Min expansion: 0.548"
Neck: 0.5"
TSC: 1.5" x 7"


165 gr results:
Impact velocity: 1,329 fps
Penetration: over 14.7"
Retained weight: 164.6 gr
Max expansion: 0.770"
Min expansion: 0.586"
Neck: 0.4"
TSC: 1" x 8"

I did not get a velocity reading from the 180 gr shot so the velocity figure is from Intercooler's 10mm master sheet found here.

If you put a gel test on THR, I'll watch it. Nice vid.

Couldn't ask for better results from those bullets. Have you planned any tests from shorter barrels to see if they'll do as well?

I don't have a shorter 10mm barrel. You can send me a G29, though.

Now those are what I call self defense rounds!

Don't have one on me at the time. Sorry.

Reeds has had little to no stock for years now.
