This video explores the terminal ballistics of the .45 ACP caliber, specifically investigating how far it can retain enough energy to cause a potentially fatal wound. The test involved firing 230gr Federal American Eagle FMJ loads at pine boards and a Clear Ballistics Torso with 230gr Federal HST rounds. While the FMJ loads showed some penetration at range, the HST loads did not achieve expansion or penetration on the torso. The creators mention revisiting expansion and penetration at range in future videos, indicating a deeper dive into the topic is planned.
