This video details a ballistic gel test of the 70-grain Velocitas monolithic bullet in 30 Super Carry caliber. Fired from a Smith & Wesson Shield Plus handgun, the bullet achieved 1520 fps, expanded to three pedals with no fragmentation, and penetrated 9.5 inches. Fired from a Hi-Point 3095 carbine at 1956 fps, the bullet shed one pedal and penetrated 14.75 inches. The test highlights the trade-off between expansion and penetration in this caliber.

This review of the Hi-Point 3095 Carbine, presented by Ian McCollum, details its surprising dual-caliber functionality. Initially mistaken for a 7.65 French Long firearm, it's revealed to be chambered in .30 Super Carry, a modern, high-pressure round. The review highlights its ability to reliably fire both, discusses the ballistic differences, and questions the practicality of a 10-round magazine for the .30 Super Carry caliber.

This analysis debunks the 'wandering zero' myth surrounding the Lee-Enfield No. 5 Mk 1 'Jungle Carbine'. By examining a 10-shot group at 100 yards, the data, even after removing a single flier, indicates acceptable accuracy for a carbine of its era, suggesting the reputation is largely unfounded.
