I will be shooting some panels - if interesting in witnessing the testing - I will keep you posted on dates and times.
Sometimes it is interesting to see what REALLY happens when something is shot.

I'd drive out to see it if I'm free when it goes down. Have never been witness to something like that.

Specifically we will be testing NIJ2 Poly Armor against the Winchester 127 +P+ LEO Ranger Load.
454 is a bit much for NIJ2
10mm is not the standard round that we need to test - unfortunately.
