This video provides an expert-level ballistic gel test comparing Hornady Critical Defense (FTX) and Hornady Custom (XTP) .25 ACP ammunition. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, uses a Beretta 21A Bobcat and a LabRadar chronograph to meticulously analyze terminal ballistics, including velocity, penetration, and projectile expansion. The findings suggest .25 ACP is an underpowered caliber for self-defense, with neither tested hollow-point round expanding effectively.

This guide details the installation of a Brausch silencer onto a Walther PPK/S SD pistol chambered in 7.65mm (.32 Auto). It covers safe handling procedures, suppressor attachment, magazine loading with Hornady Custom ammunition, and a range test demonstrating the suppressed firearm's performance. The instruction emphasizes safe firearm handling and proper equipment use, reflecting the high authority level of the presenter.

This video compares the .50 BMG and .338 Lapua Magnum in various penetration tests. While the .50 BMG generally exhibits more energy, the .338 Lapua Magnum showed surprising performance, even slightly outperforming the .50 BMG in direct steel penetration. Sand proved to be an effective barrier against both calibers, stopping them completely.

This guide from Geauga Firearms Academy explains essential ammunition concepts for new gun owners. It covers identifying firearm caliber, understanding bullet weight (grain), differentiating between training and self-defense rounds (hollow points), and the implications of case material (brass, aluminum, steel). The instructor emphasizes using quality factory ammunition and recommends replacing self-defense rounds annually.

This video provides a ballistic gel test and review of Hornady Custom 10mm Auto ammunition featuring the 180-grain XTP projectile. The presenter, with experience in firearms instruction, tests the ammunition through Glock 20 and Glock 29 handguns, measuring velocity and observing terminal performance in ballistic gel. While the ammunition demonstrated consistent performance and good expansion, it was deemed underpowered for typical 'big dog' 10mm loads when compared to competitors like Buffalo Bore and Underwood.

This video provides a ballistic gel test of Hornady Custom 35gr JHP .25 ACP ammunition fired from a Phoenix Arms HP25A pistol. The test evaluates expansion, penetration, and retained weight in both bare gel and through four layers of denim. The instructor notes that the longer barrel of the Phoenix Arms pistol likely contributed to the observed expansion.

This review of the Taurus TH10 10mm pistol covers its shooting impressions, ammunition feeding reliability across various loads, and practical accuracy. The reviewer notes the pistol's manageable recoil for a 10mm, good grouping potential, and a double-action trigger that is smoother than its .45 ACP counterpart. While recoil requires concentration, the TH10 proves capable of handling diverse 10mm ammunition effectively.

This video showcases a variety of ammunition pickups acquired both online and locally. The presenter highlights deals on 12 gauge, 410 bore, 44 Magnum, 500 S&W Magnum, 50 Action Express, 5.7x28mm, 10mm Auto, and 300 Blackout ammunition from various retailers and online sources, discussing pricing and specific load types.

This YouTube video features a ballistic gel test and review of Hornady Custom .40 S&W 180gr XTP ammunition. The creator details various equipment used in their videos, including steel targets, cameras, editing software, hearing protection, safety glasses, ballistic gelatin powder, scales, calipers, denim, range finders, shooting rests, chronographs, target stands, and various splatter targets. The video focuses on the performance characteristics of the specific ammunition in a controlled gel test environment.

This video details an 'ammo hunt' haul, featuring various ammunition types acquired from Rural King and a local shop, along with an online order. The presenter discusses specific calibers like 50 AE, 223 Remington, 22 Magnum, 9mm Luger, 45 Colt, and 7.62x51mm, noting prices and availability. It highlights new test items, including PMC Bronze soft points, T-Series 9mm, and Liberty Ammunition's Civil Defense in 45 Colt, intended for future testing.

This video demonstrates the firing of a gold-plated Magnum Research Desert Eagle pistol chambered in .50 AE. It showcases the use of Hornady Custom 300 gr XTP/HP ammunition and its impact on an exploding target. The demonstration includes loading the magazine, preparing the firearm, and firing, highlighting the visual spectacle of the large caliber round's effect.

This video tests Hornady Custom 124-grain XTP 9mm ammunition fired from a 3-inch Taurus GX4 and a 4.5-inch P80. The testing involved chronographing velocities and ballistic gel tests to evaluate expansion and penetration. The results suggest the Custom line is loaded hotter, leading to more consistent XTP expansion compared to other loads tested.
