    If one has invested in any of the typical duty loads and using modern JHP, there's none of them demonstrate a large enough difference in terminal ballistics (quite minimal in fact...) to change to another one. I think that's the take home I think.

    *Rnds with excess velocity like the 10mm have higher failure rates, and as expected, unlikely to be the best choice

    *.45 still appears to be hard to beat. Whether the juice worth the squeeze in reduced capacity, recoil, etc is the Q

    * 5.7 (first formal testing I'm aware of for SD handgun) did exhibit some impressive results and very bullet choice dependent and may be a viable choice under some circumstances.

    Thank you for sharing this, Will.

    After my primitive testing I decided to keep the HST /Gold Dot vs. the new high velocity penetration ammo. I looked for reviews on Google and found yours. Small web. Thank you again for the documentation.
    Cheers,
