This video presents a 100-yard gel test comparing four different 7.62x39mm ammunition types: AAC Saber Black Tip, Hornady SST, Federal Soft Point, and a Speer Gold Dot handload. The instructor meticulously documents penetration depth and bullet expansion for each round, offering insights into their terminal ballistics. The Federal Soft Point and AAC Saber Black Tip demonstrated superior penetration, while the Speer Gold Dot showed significant expansion but less depth. The Hornady SST exhibited substantial fragmentation.

This video compares the ballistic performance of 9mm and .308 Winchester ammunition when fired into Clear Ballistics Gel versus water jugs. The presenter found surprisingly similar results in terms of bullet expansion and penetration between the two mediums, suggesting water jugs can offer a reasonable approximation for testing without specialized gel. The experiment highlights how different ammunition types react upon impact.

This video details the first range trip with a Harrington and Richardson M1 Garand, highlighting initial loading challenges with dry en bloc clips and the impact of a modified gas block and recoil spring. Despite some operational hiccups, the shooter notes the rifle's excellent trigger and potential accuracy.

This video provides an expert-level ballistics gel test of five different 123-grain 7.62x39mm loads fired from a 16-inch barrel Ruger American Ranch rifle. The host, demonstrating high authority and significant experience, analyzes terminal ballistics, including penetration depth and projectile expansion, for hunting and self-defense applications. Key findings highlight the varied performance of hollow point, soft point, and SST designs.
