Couldn’t find any videos other than a 380 and looked promising so I ordered a box.
Kind of impressed with expansion at 20 yards in a dirt embankment.
Even though designated as a standard pressure it seems a little on the hot side.
Really wasn’t expecting expansion being fired into a dirt embankment so it was a good surprise.

Widest Expansion was equal to the much hyped Norma MHP (Monolithic HollowPoint)

Don’t have anything to measure weight but they didn’t fragment, and functioned flawless in the 75B Omega.
Probably my new, CorrecT, prescription glasses I finally got, but seemed to be consistently hitting  1” high.
Hope to be able to get out this weekend and see what kind of group they hold at 40yds.

Interesting video.
No English subtitles, but one can convert the measurements and see how 3 rounds compare in tests through denim, bone, doors, glass etc.

Finally Got a chrono, and had to test couple.
S&B XRG 100gr.
CZ 75B: 1323fps
A carbine: 1514fps

On factory website They list 1312fps out of 6” barrel. Not a +P.
 
Shot quite a few from the 75B with no issues to date.
