Kind of a long read, but some decent tests with fairly easy to see results. I have no connection to these guys.

Go to the links at the top of the article and pick your favorite caliber and it will give you an easy to read chart.

Accuracy always matters.



A clear conscience is often the sign of a fuzzy memory.

Yeah as antiquated as the 8mm Mauser is there is no doubt that it is much more lethal than the other calibers listed. And it would have a heck of recoil for a pistol. (insert sarcasm).

Hmmmm... looks like starfires are either over charged or don't expand enough to slow down. Hydrashoks did the same thing.

Ranger SXTs and defenders are what I am going to keep buying for all calibers.


Real good read though. Good guide to judge the best bullet.
