Videos tagged with 125gr FMJ

This video conducts a ballistic gel test comparing Palmetto State Armory's (PSA) 300 Blackout 125gr FMJ and 110gr Sabre Blade Black Tip ammunition. Chronograph readings show both loads exceeding advertised velocities from a 16-inch barrel. The FMJ demonstrated significant tumbling, creating a large wound cavity but also penetrating deeply. The ballistic tip fragmented more, resulting in an immediate energy dump and less over-penetration, though its terminal performance was partially obscured by fragmentation.

This video demonstrates the ballistic performance of .38 Special ammunition fired into ice blocks contained within buckets. The instructor compares a 125gr Magtech Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) round against a 158gr American Eagle Lead Semi-Wadcutter (LSWC) round, analyzing penetration depth and bullet deformation. The experiment highlights how different bullet types and weights interact with a solid medium like ice, providing insights into terminal ballistics.
