    I could watch .357 sig videos all day no matter the ammo.. The only well known and readily available other high capacity semi auto caliber that compares would be 10mm but even then it’s a bigger projectile with more powder so it’s not a fair comparison.. That gold dot was a bit watered down but still performed. The Nosler reminds me of that Double Tap bonded defense with similar results. Great job as always and thanks for sharing .357 sig. 👍😬

    Great video AZ! Man that Nosler makes a friggin' mess of tissue! And it actually exceeded advertised velocity for 3 reasons;
    1. It was impact velocity that was measured.
    2. It wasn't fired from a 5 inch barrel.
    3. It was fired 5 feet further from impact than ordinance distance.

      40 has to make a comeback because police agencies are rediscovering how mediocre 9mm is in most loadings. There was a reason that 9BPLEs and corbon 115s were pursued for their "street rep". An HST at 38 spl energy levels....is the absolute equal to a .38 spl. stamping it with 9x19 does not change its performance. 9x19 exceeds 38 because of energy.

    That’s why they went to the XTP! The Nosler can’t take the higher velocity of the .357 Sig and they can’t get a truly bonded bullet like the Gold Dot! An XTP probably can? (BTW: I can accept some fragmentation if it does not limit penetration.)

    Been watching all these 357Sig videos, all excellent, and I have learned one significant point. I chose Golden Saber Bonded from the beginning because it has the best expansion to penetration ratio, ie sacrifice monster expansion for more penetration (16+). Watching all these videos has proven it true. Still watching and waiting to see if another can knock the king from his throne!

    These rounds that fragment like the Nossler round are shit. When they blow apart and can’t hold together under these high velocities it’s kinda pointless when you’re looking for as much mass as possible to get the penetration depth you’re looking for. Give me the bonded rounds all day.
