    I get the bare gelatin and four layer denim abbreviations, but what is "AG"? Auto glass?

    At any rate, thanks for posting.

    Fantastic work, Doc!

    In your experience, is there a meaningful difference (or improvement) in the terminal performance of the 147gr HST and the 147gr +P HST?

    Again, your work is a credit to the forum and much appreciated.

    No agency has ever asked us to test the 147 gr +P HST, so I don't have any data comparing the two. Let me see if we can get a box and we'll take a look at it.

    I am very interested to see the results if you get the chance.

    The factory figures do not indicate an enormous increase in MV and the non +P loading is much more readily available online.

    I carry a G26 for off-duty with my agency. We issue 124gr +P Gold Dots for 9mm. However, when I travel out of county (and sometimes out of state), I am left to carry my own ammunition and I'd like to gain every bit of performance I can from my G26's short barrel.

    I know you're busy, and thank you again for taking the time.

    Thanks Doc. Any ways we could also get some Speer 124gr + P tested?

    Thanks Doc!
    Do you have any data on the Winchester RA9124TP 9mm 124 gr. +P Ranger T-Series? My department originally issued the Federal Hydra Shok 124+p+ but switched a few years ago to the Winchester load. Our duty issued pistols are G19s and G26s...
    THanks in advance.
    It was only a momentary lapse of reason...
