I did a ballistic test on some of corbons .357 sig 125 grn jhp. Heres what happpened. I conducted the test using the tightest measures and the best equipment i had available ( a garbage can full of water in the back yard). i fired two rounds out of my glock 33 into about 3 feet of water from aprox 4 ft above the surface, the bullets didnt strike the bottom as near as i can tell. However, the results worried me a little. both rounds fragmented severely and one experienced jacket seperation. it almost looks like they blew up, there wasnt much left of either round.
I have my theory of why this happened but hoped maybe some of the more experienced guys could help me out.
does corbon just use the same bullet they load in their 125grn 9mm rounds for the .357 sig? is that possible?
my theory is that they do and that the poor little bullet is cruising way too fast for it to keep together on impact.
Is this a detremental effect to have in a carry round or any bullet for that matter? I would think it is but want to make sure im right in assuming so.
I have since picked up some speer gold dots to carry until i get this sorted out.
