This video provides a first look at the new Federal 10mm 200gr HST ammunition, including a gel test conducted at SHOT 2019. The test evaluates velocity, penetration, expansion, and retained weight using an EAA Witness pistol with a 4.5-inch barrel. Data is presented for both bare gel and tests through four layers of denim, adhering to IWBA standards. Velocities and expansion/penetration metrics are detailed.

This video tests the Sig Sauer .357 Magnum 125gr V-Crown JHP ammunition in a Smith & Wesson Model 13L revolver. The analysis focuses on ballistic gel performance, both in bare gel and through four layers of denim, following IWBA standards. The ammunition shows decent expansion and weight retention in bare gel but fails to expand when fired through heavy clothing, with excessive penetration. Velocities are described as "vanilla" for .357 Magnum. While it might be suitable for trail defense or hunting due to its deep penetration, it's deemed an "honorable mention" for personal defense against humans, as other .357 Magnum loads reportedly outperform it.
