This video compares the terminal ballistics of the .45-70 Government and .500 S&W Magnum cartridges fired from both rifles and revolvers into ballistic gel. The .500 S&W Magnum generally showed more fragmentation, especially from the rifle, while the .45-70 maintained bullet integrity better. Velocity differences between rifle and revolver platforms were also highlighted.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features a "pine board box" penetration test using the Big Horn Armory AR500 rifle chambered in the powerful 500 Auto Max cartridge. The test involves three different pre-production loads: a 275 Grain Barnes XPB, a 440 Grain Hard Cast, and a 575 Grain Hard Cast bullet. Muzzle velocities, energies, and the number of pine boards penetrated are recorded for each load, highlighting the significant ballistic performance of the 500 Auto Max. The video also includes calls to action for supporting the channel on Patreon, purchasing merchandise, and following them on social media, as well as discount codes for Defense Targets and Underwood Ammo.

This ballistic gel test of the .500 Auto Max caliber from a Bighorn Armory AR-500 rifle showcases impressive terminal performance. Different ammunition types, including Barnes 275gr HP and Buffalo Bore 400gr Flat Point, were tested, demonstrating significant penetration and expansion. The .500 Auto Max, a rimless .500 S&W Magnum variant, proved effective in the AR platform, offering higher capacity and robust ballistics.
