RESULTS

Below you will find links for each of the calibers we tested.  Click on any link, and you will be taken to a page displaying averaged results for that specific caliber.  Each ammunition tested is listed across the top, with barrel lengths down the side.  This should allow for quick and easy comparison of bullet velocities from one ammo to the next at a given barrel length.  Further, click on any given ammo header to pull up a graph for that ammo.  And at the bottom of the chart you will find information about any "real world" pistols we tested in that caliber, showing the make and model of the pistol, the barrel length, and the results achieved with the same ammo as used in the standard tests. One note:  in every case with the T/C Encore the length of the barrel was measured from the end of the barrel back to the breech face.  This is how semi-auto pistols are measured, but revolvers are measured as the length of the barrel in front of the cylinder gap.  Take this into consideration when comparing calibers using our numbers.

If you would like more detailed information (showing the actual data collected for each of the three shots, through both chronographs, for any combination of ammunition + caliber + barrel length) download the .pdf or Excel file.  If you think that you discover an error (perhaps a typo) in the data, just drop us an email or post a comment on the blog - one of us will double-check the raw data sheets.
