I want something that penetrates to 14" in bare gel, heavy clothing and the IWBA 4 denim test.
I don't want bullets zinging out the back of an assailant traveling to who knows where and hittting God knows who... But when I think about a bullet only penetrating 12", I think there are a lot of guys out there who are 26" to 29" across the shoulder. If I had to do a cross shot, would a bullet that only penetrates 12" in tests, penetrate through outer clothing, a bicep, another layer of outer clothing, another layer of outer clothing, and still penetrate deeply enough to disrupt vital tissue ?
I feel better about a bullet that penetrates 14" in the FBI & IWBA tests than a bullet that only penetrate 12" in those tests.
That's why I like the 147gr Winchester Ranger "T" Series - RA9T.
I think that Underwood Gold Dot has some fantastic expansion, and penetrating 12¾" in the denim test is OK... I just feel better having something that is going to penetrate to 14"
