PDW ballistic test w GD and TBBC (pics added)

Our dept had the guys from ATK come out to do a ammo test for us. I caught the very end and had them shoot a 64 gr .223 Gold Dot and a 62 gr Federal Trophy Bonded Bear Claw outta my PDW. They each performed about the same. 18" penetration and GOOD expansion. Didn't have a chrono w em so I don't know the velocity and they had already shot up all their barriers (glass, etc.) so I didn't get to try that. I'll post pics of the recovered bullets later.
I was very impressed with each of those rounds. We r switching to the TBBC soon department wide.

We have been getting consistent Velocity of around 2400FPS with our 7.5 barrel.
Thanks
