Videos tagged with 185 Grain JHP

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test and review of Buffalo Bore's .45 ACP +P 185-grain ammunition. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise, tests the ammunition through two different firearms: a Glock 30 with a 3.8-inch barrel and a Rock Island Armory 1911 with a 5-inch barrel. The results show excellent performance in terms of velocity, expansion, and penetration, consistently exceeding advertised specifications and performing exceptionally well across both barrel lengths.

This video compares the muzzle velocity of .45 ACP ammunition fired from a 5-inch barrel 1911 (Ruger SR1911) versus a shorter barrel 1911 (Colt Defender). Using Federal HST 185-grain jacketed hollow points, the test revealed a difference of approximately 100 feet per second, with the longer barrel achieving higher velocities. The results were noted as consistent, even with budget ammunition.
