Not that it will be applicable for you most likely, I worked in a food manufacturing facility for many years and the primary product was pasta, the dough would come out on an extruder belt about a foot wide and ¼" thick onto a roller (think about a roll of toilet paper except very heavy, dense dough) and alot of times entire
30lb+ rolls would be destined to be discarded and sometimes I would take them home and do some non scientific testing with JHP's. It was easy to recover the projectiles because all I'd have to do is unravel a few layers of dough and I could shoot it many times before it became unusable.
It was alot of fun actually.

L to R: Winchester White Box 147gr JHP, Winchester PDX1 147gr, Federal Hydra-Shok 147gr, Federal HST 124gr, Hornady Critical Duty 135gr +P. All 9mm above.
I liked the HST's and Critical Duty the best, the Critical Duty never failed to expand and was the most consistent, all expanded CD's looked identical and penetrated further than all the others. I had many more pictures I can't locate, but I tested Gold Dots, Golden Sabers, 9BPLE +P+, Hornady Tap, Hornady XTP, Winchester Ranger T's and a few others.... I also did some .38spl and .380acp JHP's in short barreled guns and that test inspired me to discontinued the use of all JHP's in those guns. Very very poor penetration and expansion.......
