This test evaluates Federal Syntech Defense 9mm SJHP ammunition using a Canik Mete MC9 and Glock 17. The ammo consistently segmented into three petals and a core, with the core penetrating 18-18.5 inches and segments stopping around 9 inches. Velocity averaged 1033 fps from the MC9 and 1094 fps from the G17, demonstrating high consistency.

This comprehensive ballistic test compares Remington UMC 125gr SJHP and Remington HTP 158gr SJHP .357 Magnum ammunition fired from a Smith & Wesson 686 Plus revolver with a 3-inch barrel. The analysis includes chronograph data, ballistic gel penetration, expansion, and weight retention, offering insights into their effectiveness for self-defense and hunting applications.

This review tests Remington's 158gr SJHP .357 Magnum ammunition fired from a 16-inch Rossi M92 carbine. The carbine significantly boosts velocity (1,775 FPS) compared to revolvers, resulting in deep penetration (18.5 inches average) and substantial expansion, even through heavy clothing. While effective for trail defense, the increased velocity can cause fragmentation, potentially complicating wound channels.
