For anyone that doesn't snoop around there, M4C has a forum loaded with threads regarding terminal ballistics from DocGKR. Anything from 5.56 duty and home defense loads (like the one BAC posted a while back), to info on short barrel .308 AR's, to pistol ammo. Hell, there's even a thread on the M1 Carbine and .30 Carbine loads.
I'll post a link to the forum, and may copy some of the info in here later.

DocGKR's Terminal Ballistic Information Forum

I'm also going to compile all of the terminal ballistics threads and info that has been shared here at the SAS into this thread for easy access.

.308 Sniper Loads
Bullet selection, gelatin shots, velocities, etc. The 110 and 155 TAP loads look promising.

5.56 Duty Loads
Good info about duty and defense loads for your AR. BAC posted a lot of this in another thread here.

M1 Carbine
Useful for anyone using an M1 Carbine in a defense role.

Pistol Defense Loads and Pistol Cal Gel Assessment
Lots of gel shots and info on various pistol loads.

Hornady 75gr Match And 75 gr TAP Comparison
No gelatin shots, but a good breakdown of the various Hornady 75gr .223 and 5.56 loads, an accuracy test, and external ballistics info.

6.8 SPC Loads
Lots of .277 bullets out there. Here's a little info on them.

Peace is not the absence of conflict, it is the presence of justice.

"You cannot be, I know, nor do I wish to see you, an inactive spectator...We have too many high sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them." -- Abigail Adams to husband John, 1775

"I wander alone, and ponder.  I muse, I mope. I ruminate.  We have not men fit for the times.  We are deficient in genius, education, in travel, fortune--in everything.  I feel unutterable anxiety."-- John Adams, 1774
