This video details a lot-to-lot consistency test of Fiocchi 55gr M193 ammunition. The instructor found significant variations in accuracy and velocity between different lots, impacting performance. Testing was conducted at 100 yards using two different AR-15 barrels, a 20-inch Bear Creek Arsenal HBAR and a 14.5-inch Hodge barrel, with data collected via a Garmin chronograph and Mantis X10.

This guide details how to reload budget-friendly 223 Remington ammunition using Berry's 55 and 62 grain bullets and Accurate 2520 powder. It covers component selection, progressive press setup, load data considerations, field testing with a chronograph, and cost analysis, highlighting significant savings by reusing brass. The presenter, Serena, brings over 10 years of competitive service rifle experience and extensive behind-the-scenes work at Ultimate Reloader.

TheYankeeMarshal, a subject matter expert, demonstrates the importance of real-world ballistic testing over manufacturer box ratings. He showcases detailed handwritten range logs, including observed velocities for Speer Gold Dot 125 gr .357 Magnum rounds, and discusses the consistent high performance of his 3-inch Colt Python in .357 Magnum.

This expert guide details a comprehensive test of the BRK Ghost .22 caliber air rifle with specialized slugs (Altaros ATP King and H&N Heavy) at extended ranges up to 300 yards. The review, conducted by a highly authoritative airgun reviewer, includes chronograph data, group analysis, and practical application of long-range shooting techniques, effectively debunking myths about .22 air rifle slug capabilities.

This video demonstrates the setup and use of the Revic BR4, a laser rangefinder with an integrated ballistic calculator. It highlights the importance of accurate rifle profile data, chronograph readings, and environmental factors for long-range shooting. The device syncs with a mobile app to provide real-time ballistic solutions, enabling shooters to make precise adjustments to their optics for extended distances.

This video provides an expert-level ballistic gel test of Sellier & Bellot XRG Defense .38 Special ammunition, conducted by the Tools&Targets host, an experienced reviewer. The test meticulously measures velocity, penetration, and expansion through a simulated clothing barrier using revolvers like the Rock Island Model 206 and Smith & Wesson 686 Plus. The analysis highlights critical performance data, offering insights into the ammunition's effectiveness for self-defense.

This guide details how to assess the potential lethality of BB guns, specifically comparing the Daisy Red Ryder to a higher-power pump-action airgun and a 12-gauge shotgun. It involves penetration testing using ballistic gel or pork butt and simulating critical artery wall penetration. The expert assessment highlights that the Red Ryder, at typical velocities, is not considered lethal for typical body tissue hits, while more powerful airguns and shotguns pose significant risks.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test comparing Hornady LeverEvolution 10mm 150gr FTX and Underwood 10mm 155gr XTP ammunition. The instructor, with clear expertise in firearms testing, demonstrates significant velocity and terminal performance differences, particularly when fired from a 16-inch carbine. The Underwood load significantly outperforms the Hornady in terms of velocity, expansion, and energy transfer, highlighting the critical role of ammunition choice and velocity in terminal ballistics.

This video explores the performance of a 16-inch barreled HK SP5L, comparing its accuracy and ballistics to a standard MP5. The presenter conducts accuracy tests with Federal Premium 124gr ammunition, achieving approximately 1.5 MOA. Ballistics testing with Civil Defense ammunition reveals an impressive 2600 FPS, comparable to 5.56 NATO, and a comparison with M855 shows similar velocities but different terminal effects. The presenter notes the 16-inch SP5L's comfortable shooting dynamics and surprising accuracy.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test and review of Buffalo Bore's .45 ACP +P 185-grain ammunition. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise, tests the ammunition through two different firearms: a Glock 30 with a 3.8-inch barrel and a Rock Island Armory 1911 with a 5-inch barrel. The results show excellent performance in terms of velocity, expansion, and penetration, consistently exceeding advertised specifications and performing exceptionally well across both barrel lengths.

This video explores the concept of statistical relevance in firearm accuracy testing, specifically focusing on shot group sizes. The presenter tests a Seekins DMR in 6mm ARC with Hornady match-grade ammunition, firing 70 rounds to assess group consistency and velocity data. While aiming for 100 rounds, a storm and limited ammunition curtailed the experiment. The findings suggest that while larger sample sizes offer more data, smaller groups can still be indicative of a rifle's potential accuracy, especially when external factors like mirage and wind are present.
