This video details a ballistic gel test of Fiocchi Hyperformance .45 ACP 230 grain ammunition, featuring the XTP projectile. The instructor, with extensive experience, expresses concern over the low velocity and lack of expansion observed in the tests conducted with both a Glock 30 and a 1911 pistol. The results indicate that the ammunition, despite its premium features like nickel-plated casings, fails to achieve sufficient velocity for reliable terminal performance in self-defense scenarios.

This video presents a ballistic gel test of Fiocchi Hyperformance .44 Magnum 200-grain XTP ammunition, comparing its performance to Federal HST .44 Magnum. The test utilizes two different barrel lengths: a 4-inch Taurus Tracker and a 6.5-inch Model 29. The Fiocchi ammunition demonstrated impressive penetration and expansion in ballistic gel, with velocities averaging 1314 fps from the Tracker and 1431 fps from the Model 29. The instructor notes that the Fiocchi Hyperformance performed comparably, and arguably better, than the more expensive Federal HST, making it a strong contender for self-defense.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test and review of Fiocchi Hyperformance 9mm 115-grain standard pressure ammunition loaded with the XTP projectile. The instructor, with clear expertise in firearms testing, analyzes velocity data from two different barrel lengths (Canik MC9 and Glock G17) and evaluates terminal performance in ballistic gel, including expansion, penetration, and projectile recovery. The review highlights the ammunition's consistent performance and effectiveness for its class.

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of different 5.56mm and .223 Remington ammunition types against a mild steel plate. It highlights how bullet construction and velocity significantly impact performance, with some rounds easily penetrating while others only create divots. The test provides practical insights into ammunition selection for steel targets.
