.30 carbine fired from M1 carbine into calibrated gelatin.

BB: 556.9 fps, 3.7"

Average velocity: 1,955 fps
Penetration: 17.8"
Retained weight: 105.8 gr
Max expansion: 0.640"
Min expansion: 0.525"

I got an error on the impact velocity so I took a five shot average. Here are those figures:

1,975
1,936
1,904
2,025
1,933

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the M1 Carbine test. I just picked up some PPU M1 Carbine 110g SP and was about to search for ballistic test results.

Would you happen to know the mininum velocity for projectile upset?

[AndrewWiggin]

No sir, I do not but I some day I might talk my buddy into pulling the bullets and loading them over a starting charge so we can see what it does at a slower speed. I'd really like to test it from a Blackhawk too.

Nice article about the .30 Carbine round using a Blackhawk.
