    5.7x28mm Elite Ammunition Tests -- Doc

    I'm just wondering if DocGKR ever ran any tests on Elite Ammunitions 5.7x28mm loads.

    If yes, could someone please link it? If no, are there any plans for the future?

    I found this thread, but I either missed the follow up, or it didn't happen.

    Thanks.

    That is not surprising. Sounds like they don't want independent testers with your credibility. I like the concept of the 5.7 but in my opinion its just not powerful enough. By concept I mean a pistol with near 5.56 ballistics and light recoil.

    Likewise, I like the concept of a carbine with near .50BMG ballistics and light recoil.

    Neither one is going to happen anytime soon ...

    BRB, changing the laws of physics as we speak. Blended melded wonder bullet doing 9,000fps with no recoil that goes through 1ft of titanium but acts like a LAW rocket on soft tissue, coming soon.

    Thank you sir! We had a great time doing it. Could you tell it was our first attempt. Things went right, some things went wrong but all in all we had a great time and got some valuable results.

    We are doing another round of testing this October. WE are dubbing in it "Gel tests: Conventional Self Defense Pistol Loads". We are testing off the shelf stuff in what the 'experts' say are the best rds for self defense. 38 spl,. 380 ACP, 9mm, 40, 45 ACP and 10mm; mostly Speer, Winchester and Hornady.
    We are using a 10% Bloom gelatin mix at 38* F. WE calibrate with a pellet gun and move on from there. Our blocks are going to be 6x6x16". Once our video guy gets everything compiled I'll post a link here.

    We really enjoyed doing this and we have another gel test planned for the spring for rifle rds.

    Anyway, glad you liked it.

    If you have not done so, take a look here on some hints on how to interpret your test results: https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=22323. Try back lighting your gel blocks and use a white background for better photos.
