Doc: PDX-1 Ranger Bonded Load or Current Ranger-T Gel Data?

[VelveteenMole]

Doc, do you have any FBI and/or independent gel test numbers or photos on the current Ranger-T and new PDX1-loaded Ranger Bonded line? It seems the Winchester comparison tool just has, I assume in-house, data on the old style Bonded bullets, and I'm wondering if it's really updated from the the SXT series either, could be wrong on that.

Some data was posted here a while ago on the new T-series bullets, showing them to have larger expansion comparable to the HST bullets, otherwise consistent performance with the older generation, IIRC.

As to the PDX1, I don't know that there's been any official tests of yet?

[nobody knows]

I don't know of any side by side comparisons of these two rounds, but if you search u-tube for a guy named tnoutdoors9 he dose both ballistic gel and sim-test tests with and without denim. Not really a controlled scientific test but better then nothing. From what I have seen; all the ranger-t series does vary well. The pdx-1 on the other hand not so much there is significant clogging issues from most of the tests with denim that I have seen. But keep in mind that these "tests" are not scientific and they are of small quantities of ammo. So take it for what is worth.

Doc has tested the PDX bullets, in both 9mm and .40 IIRC and posted the results on this forum.
