This video discusses firearm cleaning techniques, with the speaker primarily using CLP but also Hoppe's solvent. He notes that by avoiding lead ammunition and exclusively shooting full metal jacket or solid copper rounds, he minimizes lead buildup. The focus of his cleaning is often on removing 'burn rings' from cylinder ends, especially when shooting .38s and .357s, to ensure smooth chambering of rounds.

Ted from Line45 reviews Lehigh Defense's Controlled Fracturing (CF) ammunition, highlighting its unique design where the bullet splits into multiple 'petals' upon impact while the core continues to penetrate. This creates multiple wound channels, offering enhanced tissue disruption without sacrificing terminal ballistics. The ammunition is CNC machined from solid copper, lead-free, and demonstrates consistent performance across various calibers in gel tests.

The Yankee Marshal discusses various firearm calibers, expressing a preference for powerful revolver rounds like the .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum, and also mentioning the 10mm Auto for handguns. He touches on the potential future of ammunition, advocating for alternatives to lead, such as copper or polymer-based rounds, due to environmental and regulatory concerns. The discussion also includes commentary on specific firearm models and the importance of responsible gun ownership and community engagement.

This YouTube video, titled 'Finding beauty in the little things,' highlights two prominent firearm manufacturers, Lehigh Defense and Wilson Combat. The description emphasizes a focus on copper and lead-free ammunition options. While the video's primary theme is finding aesthetic appreciation in seemingly small details, the mention of these specific brands and ammunition types strongly suggests a firearms-related context, likely showcasing or discussing these components in a visually appealing manner.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Buffalo Bore's .380 ACP +P ammunition, featuring Barnes Tac-XP solid copper projectiles. The test measures velocity from two Smith & Wesson firearms (Bodyguard 2.0 and M&P EZ) and evaluates projectile expansion and penetration through a clothing barrier. The presenter concludes that while the ammunition offers good energy for its caliber, its high cost and performance comparable to less expensive options make it a questionable value proposition for most users.

This guide details a quick firearm cleaning method using an air compressor, bore cleaner, and gun oil. The presenter emphasizes cleaning firearms after each use to prevent malfunctions, which can have severe consequences. The method is presented as a fast and effective way to maintain firearm reliability, especially when using copper-jacketed ammunition.

This guide, drawing on extensive field experience from a seasoned hunter with over 100 elk harvests, provides a balanced comparison of lead versus copper ammunition for big game. It details the ballistics, terminal performance, accuracy considerations, and environmental impacts of each bullet type, offering specific recommendations for calibers like 300 Win Mag and 6.5 Creedmoor. The advice emphasizes practical application in hunting scenarios, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each ammunition type for ethical and effective harvests.

This video details a ballistics test of Defiant Munitions' 9mm TCX-SDH (Total Copper Expanding Super Duty Harrington) ammunition. The test was conducted using a 16.3-inch barrel Henry Homesteader PCC and a 4.5-inch barrel P80 handgun. The ammunition features a 125-grain solid copper boat tail expander designed to extend the effective range of 9mm. The instructor, with apparent expertise in ballistics testing, provides velocity readings and gel test results, highlighting the projectile's expansion and penetration capabilities.

This ballistic gel test compares Super Vel 9mm +P 115-grain Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) and Solid Copper Hollow Point (SCHP) ammunition. While both rounds expanded well, the SCHP demonstrated superior penetration and a more consistent wound channel. The JHP achieved 10.25-10.375 inches of penetration, while the SCHP reached 13 inches. Both projectiles expanded significantly, with the JHP measuring 5/8 inch and the SCHP measuring 3/4 inch in diameter.

This RECOILtv video features Editor in Chief Iain Harrison conducting a ballistic test of Norma MHPs, a type of copper-built hollow-point ammunition. The video highlights the engineering and performance of these visually appealing rounds, offering viewers a look at their effectiveness through testing. It also promotes the RECOILtv app available on various streaming platforms.

This video addresses concerns about lead ammunition, arguing that while lead is toxic, the focus should be on reducing its use in high-volume shooting environments like ranges. The speaker advocates for a shift towards polymer or solid copper alternatives for general shooting and self-defense to mitigate environmental impact and remove arguments for banning lead ammunition entirely. This proactive approach would allow reloaders and hunters to continue using lead without facing widespread bans.
