Before clicking, best performers are:

180 grain 10mm
185 grain .45
115 grain 9mm

In that order. The 240s, 220s, and 147s are meh.

Actually the 147 gr HST rounds did pretty well. They didn't test a lot of 115 gr but they tended to either not penetrate enough or not expand and then over-penetrate. However the Black Hills 115 gr +P did really well.

I just hate how they never include a 125gr sjhp full power 357 magnum in these tests for reference.

Im still not convinced a bonded bullet is the answer. A cup n core hollow point hauling arse was the answer for a long time.
