When I did a mixed media test with 9mm Xtreme Penetrators, the bullet smashed a bone after it exited the 16 inch gel block. It knocked down the rib package on the back so the next two just sailed away. The third round exited the gel block so fast that it ruffled blue jean material that was on the table. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ys0V7kiO7Q
LD, I did not measure the cavity in gel, but you can see that it did not just pencil through,

I got the same results in water from both the 9mm Xtreme Penetrators and the Buffalo Bore hard cast. I only had 8 jugs for the earlier Buffalo Bore test, but I am confident it would have stopped in the 9th if I had placed an extra jug in the lineup.

9mm is not legal for hunting big game in Wyoming, so it is not something I could test other than in self defense. (10 mm isn't either because of the minimum overall cartridge length requirement of 1.5 inches.)

FYI, I got a flyer from Midway yesterday that indicated that it had Xtreme Penetrator projectiles in stock. I just ordered some 9mm and .380 Xtreme Penetrator projectiles. Lehigh's loading data on its website is spot on and replicates the factory loads in each caliber.
