Phase Two Comprehensive .380acp test with Sig P232. March, 2006.
« on: October 25, 2006, 08:35:18 PM »

Phase Two Comprehensive .380acp test with Sig P232.  March, 2006.

Here are the final results for my Comprehensive P232 .380acp wetpack tests with the picture for Phase Two below. Phase Two required 2 wetpacks (5 Win SXT and 5 MagTech in second pack).  My ratings for the cartridges tested look like this:

Best:   Remington GoldenSaber 102gr JHP still the best expansion and penetration combination.
      See Phase One report.

Excellent: 1.  Federal Hi-Shok 90gr JHP  4 data points, .506"avg exp, SD .010 and 8.25"avg pen, SD .25
           Note this is a different design than HydraShok and is shown on Fed's lawenforcement site.

   2.  Hornady XTP 90gr JHP, with 8 data points, .516"avg exp, SD .010 and 8.5"avg pen, SD .45    This is a close second to the Fed Hi-Shok and only second place because it gets a strange  looking expansion.  Maybe that is actually better. You decide. Just my opinion.

   3.  CorBon 90gr+p JHP,  see Phase One report.

   4.  Speer GoldDot 90gr JHP,  see Phase One report.

Acceptable: 1.  Winchester SXT 95gr JHP,  8 data points, .589"avg exp, SD .014,  7.6"avg pen, SD .48

         2.  Federal HydraShok "PD" 90gr, 6 datas,  .584"avg exp, SD .011,  6.9"avg pen, SD .34    (barely  acceptable)           

Conditional:  MagTech FirstDefense 77gr copper bullet, zero/partial exp.,  10+" penetration with 3 bullets
      exiting the pack and assumed zero expansion. 
      (actually unacceptable, in my opinion, FMJ would do as good and a lot cheaper)

Unacceptable:   See Phase One report.
