This video focuses on testing the maximum charge velocities for 6.5 Grendel ammunition, specifically using 123gr SST bullets and CFE223 powder. It aims to provide data-driven insights for handloaders and enthusiasts interested in optimizing performance for this popular rifle caliber. The analysis will likely detail the results of these velocity tests, offering valuable information for those looking to achieve specific ballistic outcomes with their 6.5 Grendel firearms.
This video compares the terminal ballistics of two 6.5 Grendel hunting rounds: the 123gr Hornady SST and the 120gr Speer Gold Dot, using ballistics gel. The instructor, preparing for deer season, found the Gold Dot offered better penetration and less fragmentation, making it his preferred choice for deer hunting due to the likelihood of an exit wound. The SST exhibited more violent expansion and fragmentation, which he deemed more suitable for self-defense scenarios.
This video tests the terminal performance of 7.62x39mm Hornady Black 123gr SST ammunition fired from a Romanian WASR 10/63 into calibrated 10% ordnance gelatin. The test captures high-speed video to analyze penetration, retained weight, and expansion characteristics of the projectile. The description highlights the rarity of premium, domestically produced defense loads for this caliber and notes the Gadsden flag branding on the ammunition box.
This video presents a high-speed camera analysis of the terminal performance of Hornady Custom 123gr SST ammunition in 6.5mm Grendel. The test involves firing the rounds into calibrated 10% ordnance gelatin from a 12-inch AR-15 platform. Detailed metrics on penetration depth, retained projectile weight, and expansion diameter are provided. The video also includes velocity data from multiple shots, highlighting average, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation. Links for Aimed Research's services, an Arfcom discussion thread, and social media channels are included.
