The Lehigh stuff does seem to penetrate very well. I believe CraigC, MaxP and some of the bovine bashers have tried some of the Lehigh screwdriver bullets and were not terribly impressed. I've seen a little bit of testing in chunks of meat with the later, and the results seemed to indicate the claims might have some validity, but I'm still unsure. Same goes for the Lehigh screwdriver bullets. I'm of the same opinion that until I see real evidence that shooting a living creature will produce a similar wound channel as seen in gel, I will remain skeptical on screwdriver bullets. These ARX rounds have that and other performance enhancements that gives them a lot of credence in my opinion. I think most will agree that velocity plays an important factor on a bullets performance. 357 86 grain, but my guess is it would be in the 1500 - 1600fps range out of that short barrel. On the LCR 1-7/8" barrel it averaged around the 1050fps range. It's the wicked fast velocity out of such a short barrel that impresses me. It's the hydraulic cavitation created by the fluting on the projectile that expands the wound cavity to one that is comparable to a mushrooming hollow point of a heavier grain. 380 and the 9MM.įrom what I understand, it tumbles by design to slow its forward motion, thus minimizing collateral damage. On the ARX he's also done a review on the. The fella that owns the sight has done quite a few reviews on various ammo. I began carrying it based on the information I gathered HERE. I've carried ARX ammo in my EDC Ruger LCR357 for the past 3 years. What is no longer available is the Ruger branded ARX label.The contract with Ruger has expired. The ammunition is produced by Inceptor Ammunition and is still available. Not as much as you see with good hollow points but more then I expected.Ĭlick to expand.The ARX ammo that you speak of has not been discontinued. But they definitely showed much more permanent damage then ball. I tried getting some decent pics of the tracks in the gel but as normal they are not so great. Both bullets were recovered base forward with a weight of 82.6 and 82 grains, no expansion. Round two also penetrated to 15.5 inches with a velocity of 1331fps. Out of the Kahr, the first round’s velocity was 1309fps and it penetrated to a depth of 15.5 inches. Both bullets were recovered base forward. Recovered weight was 82.1 and 82.7 grains and no expansion. The second round had a velocity of 1436fps and penetrated to 15.75 inches. In the heavy clothing covered gel, the first round’s velocity was 1452fps and its penetration was 16.5 inches. The bullets had a recovered weight of 82.1 and 82.4 grains with no expansion. The second round hit the block at 1416fps and went to a depth of 16 inches.
The recoil in both pistols was very mild.įrom the Sig, the first round had a velocity of1420fps and penetrated to16.75 inches. With the Kahr, the five-shot average was 1323fps with a high of 1331 and a low of 1316fps. Trying to evaluate them on the permanent wound damage in the gel is subjective and open to interpretation.įrom the Sig P229, I got a five-shot average velocity of 1411fps with a high of 1421 and a low of 1403fps.
P ARX 9MM AMMO FOR SALE HOW TO
Part of the reason for waiting was trying to figure out how to evaluate them. I have had this box of ammo for some time now and now that I decide to test them it looks like it’s been discontinued. Chronograph: Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph G2.įive shot velocity average: 1411, 1323fps
