This video from Line45 explains the current dip in ammunition prices, attributing it to overproduction by manufacturers in 2023-2024 anticipating a demand surge that didn't materialize, coupled with significant government contracts. The speaker, Ted, advises against panic buying and instead advocates for a strategic, long-term approach to building an ammunition supply. He outlines a tiered stockpiling system and suggests reloading as cost-saving measures, emphasizing smart purchasing and preparation for future market fluctuations.
This video features an expert firearms instructor conducting a ballistic gelatin test of Hornady's 73-grain Critical Defense FTX ammunition fired from a 16-inch barrel. The test reveals significant expansion and fragmentation but a penetration depth of nearly 12 inches, which the instructor deems borderline for defensive use. He compares this performance to other superior Hornady offerings and recommends alternative 5.56mm loads for better defensive performance.
