Here is what I posted about the 10mm 165 Golden Saber fired from a Glock 29 (3 &3/4") barrel.
I totally head over heels in love with my GLock 29. ACCURATE, a SWEET firing, I loved it! 9 grs of Blue Dot were ejecting in a sweet pile about 1.5 feet away. The 11 gr load was ejecting 12' away.....whoaaaaa Nelly!!!! Too far I guess for the spring but a great load. These were Remington's 165 gr Golden Saber bullet. I then fired the 11 gr load into a 6" thick phone book that was totally soaking wet with water BACKED with a steel Pig siloette target to attempt a bullet capture. This target was 25 YDS away. The round left a 5" diameter massive permanent hole in the back of the book, then I recovered the Saber JAcket that was totally flat and sharp on the Saber pedals, about 1" in diameter and pretty much intact. The core continued on and knocked the silloettte over and then richocetted off the ground some 50 yds behind the target. The siloette weighs around 35 pounds. I was so shocked over the destruction power of this load, the wet lap looked like a magnum hit it.
Very few times in my life have I been so totally happy with a load and a weapon! IT WAS AWESOME!
AND IN ANOTHER LATER POST I SAID:
Shot the load today to see if DENIM would plug the hollow point-NOPE! Four layers of denim in front of wet lap, penetration was 15" Hollow point with those thick saber pedals was 0.75" in diameter, mushroom was 0.9" tall. I would hate to get smacked by one of these.
