I'd be very interested in this for black bear/ MT. Lion for CO hunting. Does anyone think k this would be sufficient? Loaded hot?

Luckily, I know my calibers and cartridges too. I have a 320c switch barrel setup with both cartridges.357 Sig is 9mm
My problem is I think clearly and type less so...HARPERC

If a Sig 225 is less embarrassing I have one you could load for.

So I ran these at a bit over 1100 fps in my HiPoint test pistol. Full caliber expansion means the nose squishing to caliber. Twice .355" would be double caliber expansion.
So I have not shot a bear with the 9mm Jack Hammer. I assume you are asking in reference to bear protection. So here is my best answer. 24" of penetration. Keep shooting until you are at your last one and save it for yourself.

I'd like to see some expansion testing and pics
This isn't the 9mm version, but I have some performance testing of the Jack Hammers here. I'll post up more results as time goes on.

Hammer bullets Jack Hammer handgun bullet testing
After years of bugging the guys at Hammer Bullets about a handgun bullet, I was fortunate enough to get a handful of 10mm Jack Hammer handgun bullets to test out. I've finally had a little time to play with them and since Steve officially announced their Jack Hammer line, I figured it's time to...
How about you do a 400 gr .500 cal first .... then the peashooters next, lol
I have something drawn up like that and was gonna have a local guy spin me a few, until he got a big $ contract making small parts for seismic crap .... for oil exploration

The goal with these bullets is not expansion. There are lots of frangible, shallow penetrating bullets on the market. We just aren't interested. Our goal here is deep straight line penetration with a frontal area on the bullet that creates as much permanent wound channel as possible. In low velocity a bullet that will expand or mushroom simply won't penetrate deep enough to make things dead quickly. The cupped nose design is to try and get a bit of "squish" to full caliber on the nose. If the vel is not high enough to cause this deformation the nose shape remains the same and is very effective at causing a permanent wound.
So a long way off saying the Jack Hammer is designed to make things dead that want to do you harm or make things that you want to hunt dead.

Higher vel less recoil more consistent accuracy with similar or better terminal performance.

That will be great ! I want to try your .452 and 10mm for 460 S&W , 454 Casull and 10mm auto. It would make a good bear load I think instead of hard cast. Also for my 44 mag. I'm excited !
