Videos tagged with 200 Grain

This video explores the rationale behind using 200-grain DoubleTap .40 S&W ammunition, particularly in the context of Everyday Carry (EDC). It delves into the specific characteristics and potential benefits or drawbacks of this heavier bullet weight for self-defense and other practical applications. The discussion aims to provide viewers with a comprehensive understanding of this specialized ammunition choice within the .40 S&W caliber.

This video presents a ballistic gel test of Fiocchi Hyperformance .44 Magnum 200-grain XTP ammunition, comparing its performance to Federal HST .44 Magnum. The test utilizes two different barrel lengths: a 4-inch Taurus Tracker and a 6.5-inch Model 29. The Fiocchi ammunition demonstrated impressive penetration and expansion in ballistic gel, with velocities averaging 1314 fps from the Tracker and 1431 fps from the Model 29. The instructor notes that the Fiocchi Hyperformance performed comparably, and arguably better, than the more expensive Federal HST, making it a strong contender for self-defense.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Fiocchi Defense Dynamics 200-grain .45 ACP JHP ammunition. The instructor found the velocities to be significantly lower than advertised, leading to a complete failure of expansion in ballistic gel from both a 5-inch 1911 and a 3.8-inch Glock 30. The ammunition exhibited excessive penetration due to the lack of expansion, making it a poor choice for self-defense.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test of the Speer Gold Dot G2 200gr +P .45 ACP ammunition, specifically the 'carry gun' variant optimized for shorter barrels. The test compares performance from a 5-inch 1911 and a 3.8-inch Glock 30, evaluating velocity, expansion, and penetration through a heavy clothing barrier. The instructor found the G2 performed exceptionally well from both barrel lengths, exceeding expectations for the short-barrel optimized load.

This video presents a ballistic gel test of Speer Gold Dot 10mm Auto 200-grain ammunition, conducted by a firearms instructor. The test evaluates velocity, penetration, and expansion from a Glock 29 (3.8-inch barrel) and a Glock 20 Gen 4 (4.6-inch barrel). The instructor expresses significant disappointment with the observed velocities and energy levels, deeming them insufficient for the 10mm caliber, despite acceptable terminal performance in gel.

This video features a ballistic gel test comparing two DoubleTap 10mm ammunition loads: 180 Grain and 200 Grain. The test aims to determine the "real" 10mm power of these bonded rounds, comparing them against potential "light loads." The ammo is tested through heavy clothing in ballistic gel using a Glock 20.

This video tests 10mm Auto 200gr Speer Gold Dot ammunition from a Glock 29 (short barrel) and an XDM 4.5 (longer barrel) using Clear Ballistics Gel. The ammunition was found to be downloaded, with velocities consistently below expected levels, resulting in subsonic performance from both firearms. Despite the low velocity, the 200gr Gold Dot bullets demonstrated good expansion when not impacted by intermediate barriers like a table.

This video appears to be a critical review of a 10mm firearm, specifically a Sig Sauer model, and its performance with 200-grain ammunition. The title "10mm Sig vcrown 200g weak sauce" suggests a disappointing or underperforming experience. The content likely focuses on testing the firearm's power, recoil, or reliability with this particular ammunition load. Given the title's phrasing, the creator is likely expressing dissatisfaction with the perceived power or effectiveness of the 10mm cartridge with the specified Sig ammunition.

Exile Armory LLC presents a diverse inventory of firearms, ammunition, and survival food. The video highlights various handguns and rifles, including the Taurus TX22 Competition, SIG Sauer P365-XL, and Springfield Saint Victor. Ammunition options range from 303 British to 500 S&W Magnum, with a focus on in-stock availability. Emergency food kits from ReadyWise are also featured, alongside branded apparel.

This video covers a variety of ammunition pickups from local shops and online orders, featuring brands like Underwood Ammo, AAC, Ammo Inc, Liberty Ammunition, Defiant Munitions, and LAX Ammo. The presenter discusses pricing, bullet types (Gold Dot, XTP, TCX, Nosler), and intended uses for calibers including 9mm, 10mm, .40 S&W, .223 Remington, .454 Casull, and .45 ACP. The video also touches on price drops for Federal Auto Match 22LR at Walmart and highlights new tools acquired.

This video introduces new long-range hunting ammunition loads from Barnes Bullets, specifically within their Vortex line. The focus is on optimizing bullet performance for specific cartridges, moving beyond general component bullets. Demonstrations include improved expansion and penetration in ballistic gel for loads like the 308 Winchester.

This video demonstrates the impressive terminal ballistics of the Smith & Wesson .460 Magnum revolver using a purple cabbage as a test medium, captured in extreme slow motion. Expert shooter Jerry Miculek showcases the firearm's power, highlighting the Hornady 200gr FTX ammunition's performance and the revolver's robust X-frame construction. The analysis provides valuable insights into the energy transfer and destructive capability of this powerful magnum cartridge.
