Videos tagged with Federal 38 Grain Hollow Point

This video reviews the Bear Creek 10.5-inch .22LR upper receiver, testing its performance with various ammunition types. The presenters highlight its compatibility with CMMG 22 conversion magazines and a Midwest Industries 3.5-pound trigger. They observe mixed reliability with different ammo, finding Aguila Standard Velocity and Federal 38-grain hollow points to be the most consistent performers, while Stingers were effective on cans but caused jams. The upper is suggested as a potential suppressor host.

This video tests the effectiveness of .22 Long Rifle ammunition for self-defense scenarios by conducting ballistics gel tests and velocity measurements across three different firearm platforms: a Ruger 10/22 rifle, a 5-inch barrel Ruger 22/45 handgun, and a Beretta 21A Bobcat micro-pistol. The tests evaluated three popular .22 LR loads: CCI Stinger 32-grain, Federal 38-grain hollow points, and Federal 36-grain bulk pack hollow points. The results indicate significant velocity drops with shorter barrel lengths, impacting bullet expansion. The CCI Stinger 32-grain rounds generally performed better in terms of expansion and wound channel creation compared to the Federal loads across all platforms, though overall penetration remained limited.
