This video provides a detailed ballistic test of Winchester Elite Defender .380 ACP 95-grain bonded jacketed hollow-point ammunition. The test uses two different firearms, a Ruger LCP Max and an M&P Performance Center Shield EZ, to evaluate velocity and terminal performance through a heavy clothing barrier into ballistic gel. The instructor expresses initial skepticism about the .380 ACP's ability to achieve sufficient velocity for proper expansion with this type of projectile but is ultimately surprised by the results.
This video from Tools&Targets provides a detailed ballistics test of Underwood Ammunition's 147-grain Plus P Plus Gold Dot bonded jacketed hollow points fired from two different 9mm pistols: a Canik Mete MC9 with a 3.1-inch barrel and a Glock 17 with a 4.5-inch barrel. The test includes chronograph readings and gel block performance, demonstrating effective expansion and penetration from both barrel lengths, suggesting this heavy-for-caliber round is suitable for micro 9mm self-defense applications.
This video from Kentucky Ballistics tests the penetration capabilities of a Desert Eagle chambered in .50 AE against concrete blocks. Two types of Underwood Ammo were used: a 300-grain bonded jacketed hollow point and a 325-grain bonded jacketed hollow point. The 325-grain round demonstrated superior performance, penetrating both sides of a cinder block and impacting a second block, while the 300-grain round only cracked the first block.
This video from Kentucky Ballistics tests the penetration and impact of a Desert Eagle chambered in .50 AE against approximately 100 lbs of clay. The test utilizes Underwood Ammo's 325-grain bonded jacketed hollow point rounds, demonstrating significant energy transfer and cratering effects on the clay blocks. The video also compares the retained weight of a bullet fired into clay versus ballistic gel, highlighting the abrasive nature of clay on projectiles.
This video reviews the Winchester PDX1 Defender 9mm +P ammunition, tested in a Ruger LCR 9mm pistol. The ammunition features a 124-grain bonded jacketed hollow point projectile. Performance in the short-barreled LCR showed limited expansion and penetration, with some fragmentation observed. The reviewer plans future testing in full-size pistols to assess optimal performance.
