Shooting stuff out on the range is fun.

Safely, of course!

jacketed hollow point (JHP).

All of the shots taken at the gel were from 10 away, just as the FBI does.

There were two flyers, which was purely a human error in the trigger pull.

So, keep that in mind as you look at the penetration results.

The HTP round performed very well, creating about 12 of penetration.

The real thing we are looking at is how the petals expanded on the HTP round.

The round had beautiful expansion, creating an amazing visual spiral in the gel.

The layer of denim is supposed to represent clothing.

Obviously, the bullet will go through the jeans that is not the factor being tested here.

The projectile did rip through the jeans and carried the material with it as it penetrated into the block.

The results were astonishing.

The projectile cleared the lumber easily, just as it should.

What happened next was the real test.

But the amazing thing was that the round clearly still expanded as it should.

The wound channel was quite large on the third shot.

Considering the barrier, these were still quite good results.

Conclusion

The Remington HTP 115-gr.

JHP round is no doubt a fantastic round for everyday carry.

Some might opt to carry a heavier-grain cartridge, and thats okay.

But, as we have seen in our tests, this round will provide fantastic results on a target.
