I really wasn't sure where else to put this, but I'm seeking knwoledgeable opinions, fact sheets, and legit measurements on the velocities, and terminal ballistics of two very different hand guns.
One is an 1858 Remington style pistol(steel frame) with a 12inch barrel, firing a 180grn lead conical ballet over 40grns of any given black powder or appropriate substitute.
The other is a Beretta 92FS firing 124grn gold dot facotry ammo.
This is not a debate over which is better suited for what or which is more accurate. This is for scientific comparisons of terminal ballistics. The main objective here is to find out how they compare ballistically once the projectile penetrates flesh.
One is a lighter, faster moving hollow point which is capable of excellent penetration and expansion.
The other is a little heavier, slower moving, and with a softer bullet, I'm asking, is it possible for the 1858 .44 in this configuration compare, in kinetic energy transfer to the 9mm luger hollow point in any way?
Pick different factory ammo for 9mm or powder for the revolver if you want, but these are the platforms I'm wanting to compare just for the sake of doing it.
Why did I choose these two? Because...
