This video details a ballistic gel test of Magtech 9mm 95-grain jacketed soft point ammunition. The instructor, with apparent expertise in firearms testing, evaluates projectile performance through clothing barriers and ballistic gel using chronographs and detailed analysis. The test reveals that the ammunition, particularly from shorter barrels, exhibits jacket separation and minimal expansion, suggesting the lead compound may be too hard for optimal performance at typical handgun velocities.
This YouTube video features a ballistics test comparing the performance of a .357 Magnum Jacketed Soft-Point (JSP) round against a clay block. The video likely aims to demonstrate terminal ballistics, projectile expansion, and penetration capabilities of this specific ammunition type, potentially in the context of self-defense or general handgun performance. The title and description hint at its relevance for firearm enthusiasts interested in ammunition performance and handguns, particularly revolvers like those from Smith & Wesson.
This expert-level analysis from Tools&Targets details a ballistic gel test comparing .357 Magnum, .38 Special +P, and .44 Magnum ammunition fired from 20-inch rifle barrels. The test reveals significantly different performance characteristics compared to shorter revolver barrels, particularly for the .44 Magnum which fragmented excessively. The .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P demonstrated excellent expansion and penetration, validating the instructor's deep understanding of terminal ballistics.
This video tests PMC Bronze jacketed soft point hunting ammunition in .357 Magnum, specifically evaluating its suitability for self-defense when fired from short-barreled revolvers. The test includes ballistic gel impacts using a Taurus 605 and a Taurus 608.
