This video from Banana Ballistics empirically tests the effectiveness of the .30-06 Springfield cartridge against various steel plates, debunking the myth of it being an obsolete 'fudd cartridge'. The host, demonstrating high authority in ballistics testing through systematic methodology and professional equipment, showcases how different loads, including military AP and API variants, perform. The .30-06 is concluded to be a highly capable round, comparable to the .308 Winchester, especially with modern or specialized ammunition.
This video details a ballistic gel test of Federal Power-Shok 10mm Auto 200-grain jacketed hollow-point ammunition. The test was conducted using a 5-inch barrel Magnum Research 1911 and a 4.6-inch barrel Glock G20, with chronograph readings and gel penetration/expansion measurements recorded. The presenter notes that while the ammunition performed adequately for its advertised purpose, the velocity and energy levels are considered low for the 10mm Auto caliber.
This video details a ballistic gel test of Federal .410 slugs, comparing their performance to Winchester and Remington offerings. The test reveals significant wound cavities but limited penetration, with slugs often deforming or fragmenting. The instructor suggests these slugs may be more effective at closer ranges or for specific applications due to their rapid velocity loss.
This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test comparing Federal Non-Typical and Power-Shok .308 Winchester 150-grain jacketed soft point ammunition. The presenter, an experienced shooter, demonstrates that both ammunition types perform nearly identically, exhibiting substantial expansion and penetration in ballistic gel. The test includes velocity measurements using a Labradar chronograph and visual analysis of wound channels and recovered projectiles, concluding that both are effective hunting rounds.
This video provides a critical analysis of shotguns for home defense, highlighting their significant recoil and over-penetration risks. The instructor emphasizes that while effective, shotguns require active preparation to manage recoil, making them potentially problematic in high-stress situations for less experienced shooters. The content delves into understanding shotgun shell components like gauge, buck size, and velocity, offering practical advice on selecting appropriate ammunition for home defense scenarios.

This video provides a detailed comparison of Federal Power-Shok and Federal Fusion .30-30 Winchester ammunition, focusing on terminal ballistics. The test involved shooting both rounds through ballistic gel after a heavy clothing barrier, with velocity data collected via a Lab Radar Chronograph. Both ammunition types demonstrated impressive expansion and penetration, with the Power-Shok showing slightly larger expansion and the Fusion achieving slightly deeper penetration.
This video reviews the Bear Creek Arsenal 20" stainless 350 Legend AR-15 upper. The reviewer details common feeding issues with 350 Legend in AR platforms, primarily attributing them to ammunition bullet nose shape and magazine compatibility. Testing reveals the BCA upper is capable of sub-MOA accuracy with certain ammunition, particularly 180-grain loads, while 145-grain FMJ rounds experienced feeding hiccups and less consistent accuracy.
This YouTube video features a ballistic gel test comparing Defiant Munitions TCX 7.62x39 ammunition against Federal Power Shok 7.62x39. The test is conducted using a Ruger American Ranch rifle and includes a heavy clothing barrier. The video aims to determine the effectiveness of both ammunition types for hunting or self-defense applications. The creator emphasizes responsible firearm practices, stating all shooting occurs on a private range. Affiliate links for ear protection and an Amazon storefront are included in the description.
This YouTube video conducts an accuracy test of the IWI Tavor 7 bullpup rifle, chambered in .308 Winchester. The test utilizes various ammunition types, including handloads, Hornady Match, Federal Gold Medal Match, Federal Power Shok, and hot fast whitetail ammo, all fired at a 100-yard range.
