This video provides an expert-level comparison of two 9mm +P rounds, Liberty Bear Country and Federal Solid Core, for potential bear defense. The test, conducted by the Tools&Targets host using ballistic gel and a Canik TP9 SFX, reveals significant differences in performance. The Liberty round fragmented extensively, penetrating 12.5 inches, while the Federal round maintained its integrity, achieving 24 inches of penetration. The host concludes that while both rounds perform as advertised, 9mm is generally insufficient for grizzly bear defense.
This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test comparing Liberty Ammo's 70gr 'Bear Country' and Underwood's 200gr 'Hard Cast' 10mm loads. The host, demonstrating high expertise through rigorous testing, found the Liberty round fragmented excessively, leading to shallow penetration, while the Underwood round, despite its heavier weight, also underperformed in velocity compared to advertised specs. Neither round was deemed ideal for bear defense based on this testing.
