Testing report,Gold-dot JHPs

[Dave Waits]

Yes Lane, it did expand very well but, the jacket-separation troubles me. I want the jacket peeling back and forming a bunch of little knives that cut and cause extra trauma, not peeling off of the lead. While a 190grain at .732 is good, it's still losing 40 grains of weight that should, in a well-constructed bullet, stay there.

I carry Gold Dots in my .44 Spl snubbie. Hmmm. Hey, if ya need more milk jugs, have another kid. Consider it a public service for COTEP testing purposes.

I have good luck with the ranger t series. Going to order some more here soon I'll have to post one of these for myself on that brand.

[Dave Waits]

Gonna test sxts in 45acp soon.

Rumor has it that the Black Talons were renamed SXT which stand for Same Exact Thing!

[Dave Waits]

They are! Have a Box of the Black Talons and except for the color,they're the same. AAMOF, the Black Talons are marked SXT on the box.




I'll take a better photo of the SXTs.

here ya go, a Winchester 230grain SXT in it's natural habitat.
