This guide details a comprehensive ballistic gel test procedure for Underwood 9mm +P 115 Grain Sporting JHP ammunition, as demonstrated by an expert instructor. It covers test setup, firearm preparation, velocity and penetration measurements, and projectile analysis, providing critical data for self-defense ammunition evaluation. The expert's methodology ensures reliable and comparable results across different firearm platforms.
This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test and review of PPU Defense Line 9mm 115 Grain JHP ammunition. The instructor, despite initial skepticism based on past PPU performance in other calibers, was surprised by the excellent expansion and penetration achieved by this 9mm offering. The test utilized a Glock 17 (4.5-inch barrel) and a Canik METE MC9 (3.1-inch barrel), with chronograph data and gel block analysis presented for both.
This video provides a ballistic gel test and review of AAC 115-grain JHP ammunition loaded with Sierra Sports Master projectiles, fired from both 8.5-inch and 16-inch PSA barrels. The test includes chronograph readings, gel penetration, and projectile recovery, offering insights into terminal performance for applications like hog hunting and self-defense.
This video tests IMI Systems 9mm 115 and 124 grain DI-CUT JHP ammunition through a heavy clothing barrier and into ballistic gel. The test, conducted with a Taurus GX4 pistol, revealed that the clothing barrier significantly hindered projectile performance, preventing expansion and causing tumbling in both ammunition types. Both projectiles penetrated to approximately 22 inches in the gel, with no significant expansion observed.
This video details a ballistics gel test of Cor-Bon 115-grain 9mm +P jacketed hollow-point ammunition. The test compares performance from a 3-inch barrel (Taurus GX4) and a 4.5-inch barrel (P80 clone), evaluating velocity, expansion, and penetration through a heavy clothing barrier. The instructor notes the ammunition's consistent performance and significant expansion, despite velocities not reaching advertised claims.
This video details a ballistic gel test of Ammo Inc. 9mm JHP ammunition, specifically the 115 and 124 grain variants, fired through a Taurus GX4 pistol with a 3-inch barrel. The test simulates heavy clothing barriers (denim, fleece, cotton t-shirt) to evaluate terminal performance. Results indicate significant inconsistency, with the 115-grain failing to expand and tumbling, while the 124-grain showed minimal expansion but achieved greater penetration. The presenter highlights a lack of consistency between the two loads and their performance compared to previous bare gel tests.
