This video from Gun Talk Media features Jeff Hoffman of Black Hills Ammunition discussing and demonstrating their Honey Badger ammunition. The discussion focuses on the unique design of the monolithic copper projectile with flutes, which is engineered to provide terminal performance comparable to hollow points without the risk of expansion failure. The video includes gel tests comparing the 160-grain .44 Magnum Honey Badger to a traditional 300-grain hollow point, both from a handgun and a carbine, highlighting significant velocity and terminal effect differences when fired from a carbine.

This video details a ballistic gel test of HSM 125gr UHP .357 Magnum ammunition fired from a 16-inch Rossi M92 lever-action carbine. The test evaluates penetration, expansion, and temporary stretch cavity, comparing performance to previous revolver tests. The instructor notes that while the carbine 'wakes up' the .357 Magnum, the overall performance, particularly velocity, is not as high as expected for this caliber from a 16-inch barrel.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of the .45 ACP cartridge's lethality and effective range, featuring a high-authority instructor. It details tests using a CZ 97 pistol and JR Carbine, measuring penetration and expansion of Federal HST and American Eagle ammunition against upgraded wood targets at distances up to 440 yards. The findings confirm the .45 ACP's significant power extends well beyond typical defensive scenarios.
