    Summer carry ammo 108 grain

    So I saw this Norma 108 grain ammo on sale and wondered if it was any good. I thought if I really wanted to get the weight down on my summer carry as much as feasible, would this ammo be any good. We did a couple of gel filled plastic bottles and popped off some rounds. I doubt I will use it to carry, but it still peaked my interest. Anyone else with any experience with this ammo?

    Sorry for the lack of specifics, but I think I remember it doing not very well in gel tests. Insufficient penetration, if I'm remembering correctly.

    The tests I've watched seem to disappoint on that front. About 1016 fps from a 3" barrel and 1140 out of a 4".

    I agree with what's been shared. Abysmal gel results from what I've seen.

    Guy did a nice job on that video. I might test velocity’s next week but it won’t be replacing my Hornady critical’s or HST’s anytime soon.
