This video provides an expert-level gel and range test of DoubleTap Ammunition's .223 Remington, 9mm+P, .38 Special+P, and .357 Magnum loads. Featuring insights from the founder and professional instructors, the analysis delves into bullet construction, terminal ballistics, and penetration depths across various calibers and bullet types, including lead-free and controlled expansion designs.
This video details a ballistic gel test of Federal Premium .32 H&R Magnum Hydra-Shok Deep ammunition. The test evaluates performance through heavy clothing and a t-shirt only barrier, measuring penetration depth, expansion, and projectile integrity. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, expresses initial concerns about the low velocity from a short-barreled revolver but is ultimately surprised by the ammunition's performance.
This episode delves into the science of bullet selection for hunting, emphasizing that effective kills are achieved through exanguination (blood loss) by creating adequate wound cavities. The discussion categorizes bullets into expanding, match, and controlled expansion types, explaining their distinct performance characteristics based on upset distance, cavitation, and penetration. The importance of understanding a bullet's behavior at various impact velocities and ranges is highlighted, guiding hunters to make informed choices for ethical and successful harvests.
This video compares Hornady American Whitetail and Nosler AccuBond 150-grain rifle ammunition through accuracy testing and ballistic gelatin performance. The instructor demonstrates that while both rounds offer excellent accuracy and consistent velocity, their terminal ballistics differ significantly. The Nosler AccuBond excels in deep penetration and controlled expansion for larger game, while the Hornady American Whitetail provides rapid expansion and a wider wound channel for medium game like whitetails, at a lower cost.
This video provides a detailed ballistic test of CorBon's 9mm +P Urban Response ammunition. The instructor conducts gel tests with a heavy clothing barrier to simulate real-world conditions, measuring velocity and penetration from two different handgun platforms: a short-barreled MC9 and a standard Glock 17. The results are compared to the manufacturer's specifications and previous tests of CorBon's Power Ball ammunition, focusing on expansion, energy transfer, and penetration depth.
This video provides a detailed ballistic test of CorBon's 9mm Luger Pow'RBall ammunition, featuring a polymer ball insert. The instructor conducts velocity tests using a Lab Radar and gel tests with a heavy clothing barrier, comparing performance from a Canik Mete MC9 and a Glock 17. The results demonstrate effective expansion and penetration, with the ammunition performing as advertised.
This video showcases ballistic gel testing of 10mm Double Tap ammunition, specifically the 200gr controlled expansion load. The testing is performed using a Glock 29 pistol and a Rock Island Armory (RIA) 1911. The description also includes promotional links for various firearm-related companies and merchandise, such as Vedder Holsters, Infinity Targets, Legal Heat CCW Training, and The Gun Dungeon's apparel and social media channels.
This YouTube video focuses on the 10mm Double Tap ammunition, specifically featuring a 200-grain controlled expansion projectile. The content likely delves into the performance characteristics of this particular round, potentially including ballistic testing, expansion data, and penetration capabilities. It's aimed at firearm enthusiasts interested in high-power handgun cartridges and their effectiveness for various applications.
This video demonstrates the ballistic performance of Nosler ASP ammunition in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP calibers. The test involved shooting through two layers of sheetrock with insulation and a water jug to assess penetration and expansion. The Nosler ASP bullets are designed with skives for controlled expansion and consistent penetration, aiming to hold together and penetrate targets effectively.
This video showcases a ballistic gel test of Lehigh Defense's 125-grain Controlled Chaos bullet in 300 HAM'R caliber. Fired from an 18-inch barrel at 2440 feet per second into FBI protocol gel, the test utilized a high-speed camera at 4000 frames per second to capture the bullet's performance. The description highlights the Controlled Chaos design, which features rapid expansion with petal separation for a massive energy spike, while the solid base ensures deep penetration. This results in a dramatic wound cavity designed for quick incapacitation. The video also includes links to Wilson Combat and Lehigh Defense websites, their newsletter, and social media channels.
This review tests Fiocchi's Extrema XTP 115-grain defensive ammunition. The test involved firing the rounds into ballistic gel using a 3.2-inch barrel Walther PPS and a 4-inch barrel Walther P99. While the ammunition performed well in the gel, the recovered bullet showed less expansion and retained weight than advertised, weighing 107 grains out of the original 115 and expanding to 0.4 inches.
This video features John Zent and Greg Kosteck of Winchester Ammunition discussing and testing a new load, "Deer Season XP," in Canadian, Texas. The "R&D" outing in December 2013 was focused on developing ammunition designed for deer hunting, with a planned release in April 2015. Early indications suggest this new load will be highly effective for hunters.
