SHOT Show 2019: Seismic High Mass Ammunition

Seismic Ammunition has developed some ammunition for 9mm, 45ACP and 12ga which brings much more mass to the target with very little change in recoil impulse when compared to standard loads.
We discuss and try out some 185 grain 9mm subsonic rounds in this video.

    Help did I watch a different't video or am I dumb and missing something. Not disagreeing with anyone on this thread the point I thought was being missed is: Subsonic ammunition is by definition sub 1,126 fps. Don't know if it is because of instability of flight in the transonic region or for other reasons but 9mm subsonic is slower still. A 147gr 9mm sub being typically 980fps. Now the maxim that comes to mind is *"Slow hollowpoints don't really expand."* Looking at the film showing the fired hollowpoints the expansion doesn't look too shabby? So is this because: The longer projectile allows a deeper hollowpoint giving longer petals that can expand more easilly? The extra mass gives increased momentum that changes the forces increasing the hollowpoints expansion? This was the "Snake Oil" bit, the fired projectiles came out of a PCC with an over length chamber and they created a bastard 9X (21 to 23mm) cartridge to throw the projectile down the barrell at 1,150fps plus? That last suggestion was a joke BTW. It's just no one commented on the expansion of the fired projectiles and that was the elephant in the woodpile to me. Or did I miss the obvious?

    @@jamesstewart3856 higher ft/lbs doesn't mean anything for tissue damage assuming a complete pass through of the target. Handguns do not produce sufficient velocities for hydro-static shock to damage surrounding tissue like rifle cartridges. Strictly speaking of wounding capacity the larger the projectile as it passes through the better. IE FMJ 9mm < FMJ .45 ACP < HP 9mm < HP .45ACP. This is also assuming the projectile retains 100% of its mass, the more mass it dumps = more fragmenting, more fragmenting = more tissue damaged. Again, assuming complete passthrough.

    Already did the math, seems like the 185gr is doing about 370 ft lbs, in at 950 fps(according to their site) what barre that is, I dont know. I also did the typical adjustments for a carbine and numbers seem to be coming in around 1,235 fps at 624 ft lbs. That is provided of course the powder is even suitable for use in a carbine and etc... But for anybody wondering how a carbine might effect this ammo or what kinda specs is it getting, the 950 fps is their claim on their site. The 370 ft lbs is just using a simple ballistics calculator. I hope that answers any questions some may have on what kind of performance they could expect. In all honesty, the 185gr ammo seems to be doing about what .40 S&W is doing stock, only the .40 S&W can get a little more oomph... That being said, now 9mm guys can really say it can do what the .40 S&W can do and then some I guess. Well... to an extent anyways.

Whereas I can get an additional two rounds of .40 cal from something as basic as a starter S&W.

If we assume same bullet performance(expansion and weight retention as a percentage) this will penetrate more than a normal pressure .45 acp hollow point(both have little over 500 joules of energy at the muzzle) because the diameter of 9x19 is smaller and the sectional density of 12 gram 9x19 is greater than 15 gram .45 acp.

    My biggest question is going to be how much does that depend on barrel length and will it be reliable with a fully loaded magazine. With the extra weight you’re probably going to have to have a heavier magazine spring to push up all of the extra weight. The factory springs are tuned for 115 to 147gr.

    Jonas Strzyz It depends on the caliber but even with fast burning powder you lose a lot from a 3 inch to a 4 inch barrel in 9 mm. With this slower burning powder I wouldn’t go below a 4 1/2 inch barrel would be my guess in 9 mm and 45 doesn’t get A full powder burn as it is in a 5 inch 1911 barrel so my guess is the barrel length is going to be more significant compared to standard powder but again I’m just speculating. Take this with a grain of salt, I would have to do tests of my own. Unless Karl and Ian are going to do them for us. I can see this ammo doing very well in pistol caliber SBR‘s.

    Wow, you don't know off the top of your head? Most 9MM loads are boasted with better numbers than they'll actually post. For instance while looking at average energy ratings for .40 AND 9MM (love knowing I'm smarter than other people writing actual articles), they had the average .40 load posted at 420 ft. lbs. of energy and 9MM at 450 ft. lbs. of energy. Your average 155gr .40 load will give you around 500 ft. lbs. of energy. My personal carry option is a DoubleTap 125gr TAC-XP that's rated at 1,425 FPS (4.5") producing closer to 600 ft. lbs. of energy. I've chronographed their loads PAST the advertised velocity. Again, even your comparable 9MM DoubleTap load wouldn't make anything past 500 ft. lbs., and they load HOT ammo. This 9MM delusion is annoying. More energy equals more tissue damage, no 9MM load will surpass a comparable .40 S&W load. It was designed to be one stuff above 9MM, as well as most .45 ACP loads. Rarely will you see a premium LE .40 load fail to expand, with heavy 9MM and .45 though. Sadly, that happens all the time.

    I'd really like to know the velocity on those rounds to see how much energy they have. I get the idea since slower speeds, larger bullets plus a hollow point will help prevent over penetration and therefore transfer more energy to the target but do they actually have less energy then a standard round due to that loss of speed or is the mass increase enough to make up for it?

    While momentum is beneficial for carrying speed through the air, the energy that you’re putting down range would increase more with a faster velocity. The equation for momentum is Mass X Velocity, while the equation for kinetic energy is (1/2) X Mass X (Velocity)^2. So, energy increases by the square of velocity, and is directly proportional to mass. I don’t know enough to speak of wound cavities, and whether or not a high speed pass-through would do more damage than a lower speed expansion, but the physics is pretty cool.

    Well, by the physics, force is mass x velocity(squared). So technically, you can sacrifice mass, potentially up to the square root, in favor of velocity and have a net gain in force. However, I think the salient point that the rep made was that this ammunition is optimized for subsonic performance. With that in mind, you have an absolute maximum velocity that you can achieve, and since you can shoot out of subguns or PC Carbines with this ammo, they have to keep it subsonic whether it's from a 4in or a 14in barrel. With that in mind, your V is capped, and the only way to improve the force equation is by increasing M. Also, there is potentially a higher chance of full transfer of force, as well as conservation of momentum due to a larger/heavier round having more resistance to drag, as well as potentially expanding to a larger diameter on impact without fragmenting. I won't call this one 'snake oil', but I believe that it's going to have a very narrow application set, primarily that to people hunting with PC Carbines or pistols, Military/LE (especially those using suppressed weapons), and Karl and Ian at subgun matches.

    @InRangetv so many people get caught up in the velocity wars because “speed beats armor”. While this is true, a slower velocity with more mass can both bump up impact numbers but also provide a more reliable COMPLETE transfer of energy to an UNARMORED target (which, is statistically much more likely in an average self defense situation). Karl, to quote you “there is a there, there”. This company has my attention.

    The problem is in general speed, trumps mass. There is a reason we have gone to higher FPS, lighter bullets in rifles. Speed gives you farther range and a flatter trajectory. It also gives superior armor penetration, example a hot rod round like the 7.62x25 tok will sail through most soft body armor. I like the concept and practice, they have a certain purpose these will be amazing suppressed. Also I seem to remember a shot show where you were poo-pooing the concept of a bi-metal cartridge.

    Until you exceed 2200fps, that speed isn't going to benefit you MORE than weight will. After 2200fps, yeah, things do tend to start favoring lighter projectiles, anything it takes to break that threshold. Below that, you're better off increasing the mass as much as possible to give the bullet a greater chance to drive deeper as it expands.

    The shooter gets hit with just as much momentum as the target. The guys selling faster smaller bullets are the ones selling the good stuff. The main advantage I see to a large bullet is when you want to stay subsonic. With a speed limit, the only way to get more energy down range is by increasing the mass of the bullet. If one doesn't care about staying subsonic, the faster the better (as long as there's not over penetration). At least this is what makes sense as far as the physics goes. There's a huge difference between momentum and kinetic energy. As I started out saying, the gun powder sends just as much momentum into the shooters hand as it sends down range to the target. Obviously the momentum of a round isn't the property one uses to figure out stopping power.

    The physics only make sense if the terminal performance exists. For a pistol caliber the number 1 rule is dumping as much of, if not all of the projectile's energy into the target and of course while penetrating. JHP help ensure that with the added benefit of cutting action with larger wound channel due to the jacket splaying out and lead expansion. With more lead you do have the opportunity of more expansion but only if the bullet is designed to do so and crucial to expand at lower velocities. But back to basics, if the bullet doesnt have the energy when leaving the muzzle, being heavier isnt going to magically make it perform better. Also its gonna drop like a rock and shed energy very fast. Its basically a .380 ACP with 40 cal weight lol.

Standard brass can handle the pressure. I am a USPSA open division shooter and my 9mm major power factor load is a 124gr Precision Delta HP propelled to 1485fps average by a healthy charge of Vhitavouriv 3n38. Quickload calculates the maximum chamber pressure to be just north of 50,000psi. There are modern rifle cartridges lower than that. I use regular plain brass, most is range pickup and being fired many times. That "brass" isn't necessary. Plus for the reloader, that brass requires special dies and it's a pain in the ass. Being able to pick it up with a magnet is it's only redeeming quality.

    Maybe I'm missing something here. As I understand it you want to deliver the maximum amount of energy that is practical. Kinetic energy is defined as being 1/2MV² so while doubling the mass and maintaining the same velocity would give you twice as much energy, doubling the velocity for the same mass would give you 4 times as much energy. Wouldn't the desire to be to make the fastest cartridge as is possible for a given bullet weight? Momentum is the derivative of energy and as such is defined as MV so straight mass x velocity. So by the formula doubling the mass gets you 2x Energy and 2x momentum but doubling velocity gets you 4x energy and that same 2x momentum. Anyone care to explain what I'm missing?
