380 Rem UMC 88 Grain JHP
9mm Rem UMC 115 Grain JHP
40 S&W Rem UMC 180 Grain JHP
45 ACP Rem UMC 230 Grain JHP
Based on my terminal testing results, I probably should have used Speer Gold Dots.
Not to be ugly as your work is definitely appreciated but something here stands out like a sore thumb to me. For the .45 you chose 230 gr, .40 180 gr. & for 9mm 115 grain. For the .40 & .45 you chose the heaviest weight bullet commonly used and for the 9mm you chose the lightest. It would have been more meaningful if you had used the 147 gr. for the 9mm as that is the heaviest weight commonly used and should have produced more recoil.
