My last government job was with the Navy at Dahlgren with. When I decided to finish up in academia I chose UWF because it was close to Eglin and the work there. I'm still trying to figure out how to worm my way in there.John, We're you around when the tests were run for the 9mm VS 45 ACP at Eglin with the shooting in the open range tests taking place at Hurlburt, which was then Field #9? Where the Eglin R&D folks had to redesign the 9mm 115 grain tea cup projectiles to get the 9mm through the minimum accuracy requirements of the test. The original 115 tea cup design would not pass minimum standards in the test. They created the truncated cone bullet design offered it to anyone that would make them the ammo for the test, had one taker, and they gave the TC design patent to Hornady in exchange for 3,000,000 laded 124 grain rounds to shoot in the 9mm test, speakng of redesign of bullets. Did you know that occurred?
This is a redesign of a revolver round I built on a DW Super Mag frame with a 445 cylinder furnished by Bob owner of DW. By the time I got the gun and dies built and the ammo loaded and tested DW had sold to CZ. The right had loaded round is a 200 grain Saeco 30 cal that shoots 1/10 inch at 50 meters. The most accurate round in that gun.
