During the pandemic "ammo crunch" I was looking for some JHP ammo for my PC 9 Carbine.
This was more than a year ago, I believe and ammo was scarce here behind enemy lines in "Commiefornia."
Fortunately at a local LAX Ammunition "parking lot sale" which was rare during the ammo panic, they had some Winchester 147gr JHP "Whitebox" a very common relatively "low end" but popular ammo.
I've seen YouTube videos testing these hollow points from out of pistols. They seemed to get decent results. Not maybe like Federal HSTs or Critical Defense but these heavier Winchester rounds did open up.
I was wondering if any of you Ruger Carbine guys have had any experience with these 147gr JHP rounds in a testing environment?
Either chronograph or ballistic gel tests?
I think the box advertises a velocity of 950 fps but I think that's out of a 4 or 5 inch pistol barrel (I suppose?).
Anyone tested this ammo out of a carbine length weapon?
Or can you direct me to a YouTube video test like this?
I've contacted a couple of YouTube content creator gun channels and requested such tests. One responded optimistically saying eventually he hoped to get around to it. I've seen him use the PC 9 at the range. Not so much withr gel, but he said he hoped to do it in the future.
Any feedback?
