The Bro Science Guys Were Right!

[Cr0-Magnon]

I was always dismissive when I heard people talking about using heavy ammo in their pistols but these videos using my stock TM V10 prove they are right!

0.55J on a 0.20g

0.70J with a 0.43g

That's just science, sorry Bros!

IMO shops should only sell 0.43's moving forward.

welcome to the wonderful world of joule creep

pistols with short barrels you tend not to get too much in the way of gains especially when you have to get a lot of hop going to spin up the heavies at sub 1j.

whilst the results are hilarious, i'd caution that running really heavy ammo in pistols is detrimental to their health particularly in bulged (and i've heard, if fortunately not experienced burst) nozzles, and whilst the range and accuracy are great, you might want to think about how good your pistol marksmanship is and wether or not you really need that performance out of a pistol or if you'd rather sacrifice some performance for the sake of longevity.

eg i used to run .48's in the makarov and even at a measly 0.7j it practically outranged the majority of rifles on the fields i was playing, but given i'm incapable of hitting the broad side of a barn from inside said barn (with a pistol at least) i went back to .32's so i wasn't changing loading nozzles as often as i was changing magazines.....

IMO sites should only chrono with 0.43's moving forward.

FTFY.

Ahhh but what are our hops to be set to?

Now try the same with a 400mm barrel
