This video reviews Mags and Co. ammunition packaged in sealed 'soup cans' designed for long-term storage. The presenter tests 9mm Luger (115gr and 124gr FMJ) and 5.56 NATO (62gr FMJ) for velocity and reliability. While the 115gr 9mm and 5.56 NATO performed well and met advertised velocities, the 124gr 9mm did not. The packaging includes discreet food-themed labels and oxygen absorbers for preservation.
This YouTube Shorts video focuses on slow-motion footage of a 62-grain projectile impacting ballistic gelatin. The visual emphasis is on observing the projectile's behavior and terminal ballistics upon impact in extreme slow motion, providing a detailed look at the wound channel and projectile expansion or integrity. The video is concise, designed for quick consumption on the Shorts platform.
This video details the Black Hills Ammunition 5.56 Dual Performance round, highlighting its unique monolithic bullet design. The bullet is engineered to expand rapidly upon impact, creating a significant wound cavity, then shed its 'petals' which continue to cut a wound track. The remaining shank offers deep penetration, a dual performance not easily achieved. Testing in ballistic gel demonstrates immediate expansion, temporary cavity formation, and impressive penetration for a 62-grain 5.56 projectile.
This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of 5.56 NATO green tip steel core ammunition against a half-inch steel beam. The test utilized a POF 415 Edge rifle and Independence 62-grain green tip rounds. One shot successfully penetrated the steel, while another did not, suggesting variability in performance or impact points.
This video tests Hornady's new 22 ARC ammunition, featuring a 62-grain bullet that achieves over 3,000 feet per second. The description highlights the round's capability for a flat trajectory extending beyond 250 yards, suggesting it's a performance-oriented cartridge for rifle platforms. It implies a 'first shots' or initial evaluation scenario for this specific ammunition.
This video from 704 Tactical announces a special Ammo+ member deal at Target Sports USA, featuring New Republic ammunition. The speaker, an ammunition influencer, highlights personal testing of the ammo for performance and value.

This review provides expert-level insights into the AAC Sabre Black Tip 5.56 NATO ammunition line, featuring detailed ballistic gel testing, velocity measurements, and accuracy assessments. The presenter, Mrgunsngear, demonstrates high authority through rigorous testing protocols, including reliability tests exceeding 1500 rounds and adherence to FBI standards for penetration. The review highlights the performance of 55, 62, and 75-grain variants, offering valuable data for defensive ammunition selection.
This video tests Saber Blade Black Tip 5.56x45mm ammunition in 62-grain and 75-grain weights. The test includes velocity measurements using a chronograph and terminal ballistics testing with gel blocks behind a heavy clothing barrier. Both weights demonstrated significant expansion and fragmentation, with the 75-grain round achieving slightly deeper penetration.
This YouTube video focuses on a Trijicon Credo 2-10x scope used on a general purpose rifle. The rifle is chambered in 5.56mm and fired with 62-grain green tip ammunition. The video features two shooters engaging targets at 500 yards, highlighting the performance of the scope and ammunition combination at this distance. It appears to be a practical demonstration and evaluation of the gear in a shooting scenario.
This video debunks the myth that 5.56 NATO bullets tumble end-over-end in flight, explaining that tumbling is primarily an effect that occurs upon impact, especially with older rifling twist rates and lighter bullets. The discussion highlights how rifling twist rates, such as 1:12, 1:7, and 1:8, affect bullet stability in flight and upon impact, particularly with different bullet weights like 55, 62, and 77 grains. It clarifies that while a slow twist rate (1:12) with lighter bullets might lead to yawing or keyholing upon impact, the bullet itself does not tumble in the air.
This video introduces the Federal Premium Vital-Shok Trophy Bonded Tip ammunition in .223 Remington caliber. JJ Wright from Vista Outdoor highlights its release in 2015 as new ammunition for the year. The Trophy Bonded Tip, built on the Trophy Bonded Bear Claw platform, is a bonded bullet featuring a nickel-plated case, ballistic tip, and skiving grooves for accuracy. This is the first time this line has been offered in a .223 round, specifically a 62-grain boattail design with a solid copper shank for penetration and mushrooming. It's presented as a legitimate hunting round for .223, suitable for medium-sized, thin-skinned game like whitetail deer, with shot placement being key to performance.
