This video presents a 100-yard ballistics gel test of four different 7.62x39mm ammunition types: Sabre Blade Black Tip, Hornady SST, Federal Soft Point, and a Speer Gold Dot handload. The test is conducted using a Ruger Ranch Rifle with a 16-inch barrel. The video aims to visually demonstrate projectile expansion and penetration in ballistic gelatin for each load, providing insights for firearm owners interested in terminal ballistics of this common caliber.

This 7.62x39mm ballistics gel test evaluates five 123-grain loads fired from a 16-inch barrel Ruger American Ranch rifle. Results show significant variation in expansion and penetration, with the Federal Soft Point achieving the deepest penetration (23.25 inches) and the Speer Gold Dot creating a massive wound cavity. The Wolf Hollow Point's unique design is noted for potential issues.
