This guide details a comprehensive ballistic gel test procedure for self-defense ammunition, specifically the Underwood 9mm +P+ 115 Grain Xtreme Penetrator. It covers the setup, execution, and analysis of the test, including firearm selection (Canik Mete MC9 and Glock 17), velocity measurements, penetration depth in gel with clothing barriers, and examination of the recovered projectile. The expert instruction emphasizes understanding ammunition performance characteristics for defensive applications.

This video introduces Federal Premium's .22 LR Punch ammunition, highlighting its suitability for personal defense in revolvers, pistols, and even semi-automatic firearms. The ammunition features a deep-penetrating, solid lead, nickel-plated, flat-nose bullet designed for effectiveness. While primarily intended for handguns, it also performs well in rifles, with increased velocity enhancing penetration.

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 video introduces Hornady's CX (Copper Alloy Expanding) bullet, a monolithic design aimed at discerning hunters, especially those pursuing dangerous game. It highlights the bullet's enhanced accuracy and extended range performance compared to traditional monolithics, attributed to its heat shield tip for high BC and reduced bearing surface grooves for better barrel interaction and reduced fouling. The CX bullet also offers deep penetration and high weight retention due to its single-material construction and is suitable for areas requiring non-traditional bullets.

Jason Nash from Federal Ammunition introduces the new Solid Core ammunition line at SHOT Show 2020. This premium ammunition features a Syntek jacket and is designed for deep penetration and bone-breaking performance, making it ideal for animal defense against threats like grizzlies, cougars, and mountain lions. Available from 9mm to 44 Magnum, it offers clean shooting without wax rings or gas checks.

This video introduces Norma's STRIKE line of ammunition, designed for long-range precision shooting and hunting. It highlights three specific types: Bond Strike for extreme long-range accuracy and game performance, Eco Strike as a non-lead option with copper and nickel-tip for controlled fragmentation, and Tip Strike for deep penetration on big game. The importance of matching ammunition to rifle capabilities and environmental factors for successful long-range shots is emphasized.

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.
