This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides an in-depth ballistic gel test of PMC Bronze .44 Special 180 Grain JHP ammunition fired from a Taurus 44 Tracker. The test reveals the ammunition's performance characteristics, including penetration depth and bullet expansion, offering valuable insights for firearm owners and enthusiasts. The analysis highlights the bullet's failure to expand, behaving more like a solid projectile.
This expert-level review details a ballistic gel test of the Winchester Black Talon .357 Magnum 180-grain ammunition. The host, demonstrating high authority and extensive experience, utilized professional equipment like the LabRadar chronograph and standardized testing protocols. The ammunition showed significant expansion and penetration through a heavy clothing barrier, exceeding expectations for its design.
This video details a ballistic gel test of Remington Golden Saber 10mm 180gr ammunition, evaluating its performance through a clothing barrier. The test measures velocity from different barrel lengths (Glock 20 and Glock 29), projectile expansion, penetration depth, and weight retention. While the ammunition demonstrated good expansion and penetration, the speaker notes its velocity is lower than desired for 10mm.
This video provides a detailed comparison of Buffalo Bore and Grizzly 10mm Auto 180-grain ammunition through ballistic gel testing. The instructor, with clear expertise in firearms and ballistics, demonstrates a rigorous testing protocol using a chronograph and gel blocks with clothing barriers. The results highlight the exceptional performance of both brands, with Buffalo Bore slightly edging out Grizzly in retained weight and overall expansion, though both offer superior 10mm performance.
This video reviews the Tisas D10 10mm 1911 pistol. It highlights the firearm's construction, including a forge frame and slide with 70 series internals. The reviewer tests the pistol with Remington 180 grain ammunition, noting a slightly heavier trigger pull typical for a 1911 but deeming it acceptable.
This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test and review of Grizzly Ammunition's 180-grain 10mm Kodiak round. The instructor, an experienced firearms enthusiast, tests the ammunition through two different Glock pistols (G20 with a 4.5-inch barrel and G29 with a 3.8-inch barrel) to measure velocity and terminal performance. The results indicate exceptional performance, with high velocities and significant expansion and fragmentation in ballistic gel, positioning it as a top-tier self-defense option.
This video details a ballistic gel test of Federal Train & Protect 180-grain .40 S&W ammunition, evaluating its performance through a clothing barrier. The test reveals inconsistent velocity readings and limited projectile expansion, leading to the conclusion that the ammunition is underpowered for optimal self-defense performance. The instructor notes that while the rounds might still be effective, they do not meet expectations for the price point and exhibit significant inconsistency.
This live stream from Tools&Targets celebrates reaching 100,000 subscribers and features extensive viewer interaction. The host discusses various firearms-related topics, including ammunition performance, firearm preferences, and YouTube's platform dynamics. Key discussions revolve around 10mm ammunition, with specific recommendations for Buffalo Bore and Underwood, and general thoughts on self-defense calibers.
This video details a ballistic gel test of 180-grain Sellier & Bellot .40 S&W JHP ammunition. The presenter, experienced in ammunition testing, evaluates projectile performance across different barrel lengths (3.5-inch Glock 27 and 4.5-inch Glock 22). The test focuses on velocity, penetration, and expansion, with the ammunition exhibiting consistent but low velocities and minimal expansion, leading to a conclusion of disappointing performance for the caliber.
This video reviews the Glock 40 Gen 4 chambered in 10mm Auto, highlighting its size, weight, and suitability for bear defense. The presenter discusses the firearm's features, including finger grooves and optics readiness, and provides shooting impressions with CCI Blazer 180-grain ammunition. The review emphasizes the 10mm cartridge's power and the handgun's recoil management.
This video details a ballistic gel test of Underwood 10mm 180-grain Gold Dot ammunition. The test measures velocity from Glock 20 (4.6-inch barrel) and Glock 29 (3.8-inch barrel) pistols, and analyzes projectile performance including penetration, expansion, and fragmentation in gel with a clothing barrier. The results demonstrate significant expansion and energy transfer, making it a viable option for self-defense.
This gel test evaluates the Speer Gold Dot G2 180gr 40 S&W ammunition. The test revealed significant issues with expansion when the ammunition was fired through four layers of denim, resulting in poor wound channels and over-penetration. However, when fired without the denim barrier from a full-size barrel, the ammunition demonstrated proper expansion.
