Thinking 147 in 9, 165 in 40.....

I have not been able to find any test or info.

This fellow has done that testing while testing other bullet styles. Bookmark this link as it has a lot of good info.

"At the suggestion from someone in another forum, I shot two rounds of some M882 9mm into some bare gel. This was the same blocks I used for the Underwood test. To my surprise, both rounds only penetrated about a block and a half, 24.5 and 24.75 inches. I was expecting much more."
