This video provides a detailed ballistics gel test of various .410 slugs, including AGC, BPS, Sterling, and ATI. The expert analysis, conducted by Buckeye Ballistics, meticulously measures velocity, penetration, and fragmentation, offering valuable insights into the performance differences between these less common slug brands. The methodical approach highlights the importance of proper testing procedures for understanding ammunition performance.

This video compares the ballistic performance of M855 62gr FMJ and a 60gr Nosler Partition handload fired from AR-15 platforms with 10.5-inch and 16-inch barrels into Clear Ballistics gel. The instructor notes significant differences in wound channel and penetration based on barrel length and ammunition type, particularly highlighting the tumbling effect of M855 from the shorter barrel and the expansion characteristics of the Nosler Partition.

This video provides a detailed ballistics gel test comparing the performance of 10.5-inch and 16-inch AR-15 barrels using M193 FMJ and 60gr V-Max ammunition. It highlights significant differences in velocity and terminal ballistics, demonstrating how barrel length impacts bullet performance and fragmentation.

This video tests Winchester Ranger 147gr bonded 9mm ammunition using a Sig P365 (short barrel) and CZ 75 (long barrel). The tests included chronograph readings, gel penetration, and expansion with and without a four-layer denim barrier. The instructor noted inconsistent expansion with the denim barrier and generally found 147gr loads less impressive from short barrels.

This video provides a comparative ballistics test of several popular revolver calibers (.38 Special, .357 Magnum, .44 Special, .44 Magnum, .45 Colt) using watermelons as a medium. The presenter, an experienced shooter, demonstrates the terminal performance of soft point ammunition across these calibers, noting the lack of expansion from pistol barrel lengths. The video also touches on the performance differences between soft points and hollow points, and highlights the importance of consistent ammunition loads and watermelon selection for accurate comparisons. Future tests with hollow points and cinder blocks are mentioned.

This ballistics gel test compares the 7 PRC and 300 Win Mag at 200 yards. The 7 PRC demonstrated superior penetration, while the 300 Win Mag produced a wider wound channel due to greater bullet expansion. This highlights key differences in terminal performance between these two popular rifle cartridges.

This video provides an expert-level comparison between Hollow Point (HP) and Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition through practical testing. Using a Shadow Systems MR920 and ballistics gel, the host demonstrates the significant difference in terminal ballistics, emphasizing the superior energy transfer and expansion of HP rounds for defensive applications. The authoritative presentation highlights key concepts in terminal ballistics.

This video presents a close-range ballistics gel test of three 450 Bushmaster projectiles: the 250gr FTX, 240gr XTP Mag, and 245gr Interlock. The instructor, from 'The Gun Dungeon,' evaluates penetration depth, expansion, and weight retention, offering insights into their performance for hunting applications. The FTX demonstrated the best overall performance, with the Interlock showing poor weight retention and jacket-core separation.

This video details a ballistics gel test of Hornady Critical Defense 5.7x28mm 40-grain ammunition fired from a PSA Rock handgun. The test measured muzzle velocity, wound track, fragmentation, and penetration, comparing results to other factory loadings. The presenter concluded this ammunition performed exceptionally well for a handgun-derived 5.7x28mm load.

This video details a 100-yard ballistics gel test of four different 6.5 Grendel loads fired from an 18-inch barrel. The test evaluates Speer Gold Dot 120gr, Hornady SST 123gr, Barnes GMX 120gr (all-copper), and Hornady ELD-M 123gr. The instructor provides insights into bullet expansion, penetration depth, and potential hunting applications for each load.

This review by Honest Outlaw and PewView provides an in-depth look at the Sig Rattler LT in 300 BLK, focusing on its performance in ballistics gel and its tactical application as a PDW. The hosts, demonstrating high authority and expertise, highlight the platform's modularity, reliability with both subsonic and supersonic rounds, and compare its terminal ballistics to other common calibers. The video concludes that despite a high MSRP, the Rattler LT is a superior PDW choice.

This video conducts a ballistics gel test comparing Winchester Silvertip 9mm and .40 S&W ammunition through a simulated clothing barrier. The test evaluates bullet expansion, penetration, and velocity from short-barreled handguns. While both calibers performed well, the .40 S&W demonstrated slightly superior penetration and energy transfer.
