85 grain tsx 6.8 penetration
I have a boatload of SSA 85 grain TSX tactical loads coming in tomorrow. I have always used SSA grain TSX standard loads. I am excited about moving to a lighter weight and hotter load and decided it was time to purchase a chronograph to test the velocity. It will be in by the end of this week.
I was at another agency this week and had the opportunity to make some mm shots into their gel; this gel testing was not done to our usual standard, but The 95 gr TTSX was penetrating " further than the already deep penetrating 85 gr TSX (18" or so); on the other hand, the gr Accubond was.
Some random thoughts on the terminal performance characteristics of some of the more common projectiles in mm: My comments in red. Barnes 85 gr TSX JHP -- These all copper, lead free bullets bullets offer good expansion and penetration, even out of shorter barrels. They would be useful as both an LE and military.
SSA tactical 85 grain lethal velocity/penetration? [Archive] - Home of the SPC - www.brink7.eu
Description:For hunting, plinking, 3 gun or home defense a 16" barrel is probably all anyone needs, for military use there are other things to consider. I'll get a box of Hornady gr. If anyone would like to have a specific bullet added to these terminal performance tests, just pm and I'll give you my address so you can send some. A lower velocity bullet with less expansion will penetrate deeper than a higher velocity bullet with greater expansion. This has been an enlightening exercise and shows why the 85gr TSX has a limited range.
