Special thanks to SB for providing the gun and ammunition for the test.
Cartridge : Federal Personal Defense Handgun 85gr JHP (Part # C32HRB)
Firearm : Ruger Blackhawk .32H&R Magnum with 5.5" barrel length
Block Calibration : All depths corrected (From 12.5cm @ 603 ft/sec)
Shot 1 - Impacted at 1081 ft/sec, penetrated to 13.3" and was recovered at 0.407" average diameter.
Shot 2 - Impacted at 1022 ft/sec, penetrated to 13.3"+ and was recovered at 0.375" average diameter. The '+' indicates that the bullet actually traveled out of the back of the block and traveled some distance into the bullet stop box.
Shot 3 - Impacted at unrecorded velocity, penetrated to 13.3"+ and was recovered at 0.381" average diameter. The '+' indicates that the bullet actually traveled out of the back of the block and traveled some distance into the bullet stop box.
Shot 4 - Impacted at unrecorded velocity, penetrated to 13.3"+ and was recovered at 0.371" average diameter. The '+' indicates that the bullet actually traveled out of the back of the block and traveled some distance into the bullet stop box.
The velocities for shots 3 and 4 were not recorded because shot placement from 10' was starting to become unsatisfactory (shots were overlapping and those results were discarded) - shots 3 and 4 were fired from a distance of 4 feet to insure that only undamaged portions of block were shot.
