Recently, I have been contacted by an interested party(s) regarding gelatin testing the 7.62x25mm handgun in ballistic gelatin.
Among other things, the query concerned what bullet would I recommend in the way of JHPs and would it be a good load for CCW.
What are your opinions of testing a cartridge such as a hot 7.62x25mm with a 85 or 100gr Hornady XTP bullet? I have no idea if the 85gr will hold together past 1000 ft/sec, because that is as fast as I have shot it into gelatin (out of a .32NAA pistol), and have not had the chance to work with the 100gr offering.
Does anyone carry such a handgun for CCW? I have never owned anything from the ComBloc, not because I don't like the guns, but for reasons I will keep to myself. Is this a popular gun for 'non-gun people'?
Thank you,
