This YouTube video features a gel test of the Heritage Barkeep revolver chambered in .22 Magnum. The test focuses on comparing the performance of Hornady Critical Defense and Norma Professional Hunter ammunition, specifically evaluating their velocity and expansion capabilities. The description emphasizes that all shooting is conducted on a private range under controlled conditions and explicitly states no affiliation with retailers or manufacturers.
This video features a ballistic gel test of Super Vel's 10mm 160gr SCHP (Solid Copper Hollow Point) ammunition fired from a 4.5" EAA Witness pistol. The test assesses penetration, expansion, and retained weight in both bare gel and heavy clothing scenarios. Velocities are recorded and analyzed, showing an average of 1,119 fps with a spread of 25 fps. The video highlights the dependable performance of solid copper projectiles despite potential velocity differences compared to lead-core ammunition, emphasizing its technical aspects as an educational resource.
This video tests if 9mm 147gr Gold Dot ammunition remains subsonic when fired from a CZ Scorpion with a 7.72" barrel. The test uses a Phantom V642 high-speed camera and clear gel to measure velocity, penetration, expansion, and retained weight. Results show average velocities around 1,160 fps, with penetration depths and expansion metrics documented for both bare gel and heavy clothing tests. The video emphasizes its educational purpose for understanding ammunition performance.
This video presents a ballistic gel test of the 9mm Sig Sauer P365 115gr V-Crown ammunition, fired from a 3.1" Smith & Wesson Shield pistol. The test assesses penetration, expansion, and retained weight under both bare gel and heavy clothing conditions. High-speed camera footage from Aimed Research is utilized to capture the event. The results show moderate penetration and expansion with the V-Crown rounds, with velocities averaging around 1,083 fps.
This video features a range test and evaluation of the 75gr Speer Gold Dot ammunition in .223 Remington caliber. The content focuses on accuracy and expansion testing, utilizing Alliant Power Pro 2000 MR and Alliant Reloder 15 as the test powders. The description also includes links to the creator's Instagram and Patreon pages.
This video tests the effectiveness of budget-friendly Fiocchi 55gr PSP .223 Remington ammunition for defensive use. Fired from a 10.5" 1:7" twist upper, the ammo is put through a calibrated 10% ordnance gelatin test to evaluate penetration, expansion, fragmentation, and retained weight. Key metrics like penetration depth (11.5"), retained weight (39.3gr), and expansion diameter are presented alongside velocity data. The video aims to determine if cheaper ammunition can be 'good enough' for critical applications.
This video conducts a ballistic gel test on .45 Auto Federal 230gr HST ammunition fired from a short-barreled Springfield Armory XDS 45. The test aims to determine if the HST round can still achieve effective expansion despite the inherent limitations of a short barrel and slower velocity. Data on penetration, retained weight, and expansion diameter is presented for both bare gel and heavy clothing tests, along with velocity measurements. High-speed camera footage is utilized for detailed observation.
This video focuses on testing the 140-grain Speer Gold Dot ammunition in a 6.5 Creedmoor rifle. The content includes an examination of the accuracy and expansion characteristics of this specific ammunition. The description also provides links to the creator's Instagram and Patreon pages for further engagement.
This video focuses on testing the 62gr Speer Gold Dot ammunition in a 223 Remington caliber. The creator evaluates the performance of this specific bullet weight and type using two different test powders: Alliant Power Pro 2000 MR and IMR 8208 XBR. The tests conducted include both accuracy assessments and expansion evaluations of the projectile, providing valuable data for reloaders and shooters interested in this particular ammunition combination for their .223 Remington firearms.
This video addresses an error in previous velocity reporting for Speer 10mm 200gr Gold Dot ammunition. The presenter conducts a ballistic gel test using an EAA Witness pistol with a 4.5-inch barrel to accurately measure velocity, penetration, expansion, and retained weight. The content highlights the importance of accuracy in reporting firearm performance data and provides valuable insights into the terminal ballistics of this specific ammunition load. The video also promotes the channel's Patreon and sponsors.
This video features ballistic gel testing of Hornady Critical Defense ammunition. The tests are conducted using both bare Clear Ballistics 20% NATO gel blocks and blocks covered with FBI-style "heavy clothing." The description notes that the 20% gel provides approximately 30% less penetration compared to standard 10% gel, which viewers should consider when observing the results. The creator is open to viewer suggestions for future tests and encourages support through Patreon.
