This video tests the extreme power of the .458 Winchester Magnum elephant gun against a realistic ballistic dummy. It details the cartridge's impressive velocity (1,915 fps) and energy (4,200 ft-lbs) with a 500-grain projectile. The tests demonstrate catastrophic damage to simulated organs and bone structures, confirming its overkill for human targets but highlighting its immense terminal ballistics.

The 950 JDJ Fat Mac, the world's most powerful sporting rifle, was tested with 2,600-grain lead hollow points and 2,500-grain brass solids. The rifle's immense energy transfer was demonstrated by knocking over a steel target and completely destroying ballistic dummy torsos, with the lead hollow point vaporizing the upper half of one dummy. Scott emphasizes the destructive potential and unique nature of this custom rifle.

This video tests various firearms and calibers against a ballistic grizzly bear head to determine effective defense options. Non-lethal deterrents and wildlife control rounds proved ineffective. Powerful handgun calibers like 10mm, .44 Magnum, .454 Casull, .460 Magnum, and .500 Magnum, especially with hard-cast bullets, demonstrated significant penetration and stopping power, with shot placement being crucial for the most potent rounds.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics showcases the immense power of a Christian Firearms 4 Bore rifle.
