Penetration depth is the maximum straight-line distance traveled by the pellet into the

gelatin block. Pellet surface area is conceptually the same as ¡®expanded diameter¡¯ for measuring

hollowpoint expansion but the scientifically-relevant units of surface area are used in place of

linear inches. KE Transfer up to 12¡± depth is a measure of the potential for causing damage up to

and including the FBI required penetration depth for defensive ammunition.
