This video tests Magtech Guardian Gold .45 ACP Plus P 230-grain ammunition using ballistic gel. The testing reveals significantly lower velocities than advertised, with averages of 884 fps from a 4.25-inch barrel and 940 fps from a 5-inch barrel. The ammunition failed to expand in ballistic gel tests, resulting in complete pass-throughs of both gel blocks, indicating poor performance for self-defense or hunting applications.

This video tests SinterFire Special Duty ammunition, a sintered copper and tin powder-pressed projectile, in 9mm and .380 ACP. The instructor, experienced in firearms testing, evaluates its performance in ballistic gel with a clothing barrier. While initially skeptical of its light-for-caliber nature and powdered construction, the instructor is surprised by its controlled fragmentation and penetration, particularly from the 9mm variant. The testing provides velocity data, gel penetration depths, and fragment counts, offering insights into this unique ammunition type's defensive capabilities.

This video compares Super Vel's .380 ACP Pocket Rocket and .38 Special +P Super Snub ammunition through a heavy clothing barrier and ballistic gel. The .380 demonstrated excellent expansion but insufficient penetration, while the .38 Special achieved adequate penetration but showed questionable expansion, leading to a mixed assessment for both rounds in this specific test scenario.

This video provides a detailed ballistics test comparing Federal Premium HST and Hydra-Shok .327 Magnum ammunition. The instructor, with apparent experience in firearms testing, uses ballistic gel and a chronograph to measure penetration, expansion, and velocity from a Taurus 327 with a 2-inch barrel. Both ammunition types demonstrated excellent performance, with the HST achieving slightly deeper penetration and the Hydra-Shok showing immediate expansion.

This video tests Winchester Ranger Bonded 38 Special +P 130-grain jacketed hollow-point ammunition through a Taurus 605 (2-inch barrel) and a Ruger GP100 (4-inch barrel) using a heavy clothing barrier and ballistics gel. The ammunition performed poorly from the short barrel, failing to expand and penetrating 19 inches after tumbling. However, from the 4-inch barrel, the ammunition demonstrated excellent expansion and consistent performance, achieving around 14.5 inches of penetration with significant wound channel disruption.

This video details a ballistics test of Federal Premium Hydra-Shok Deep 210-grain 45 ACP ammunition fired through two 1911 pistols (4.25-inch and 5-inch barrels) with a heavy clothing barrier. The test measured muzzle velocity and observed bullet expansion and penetration in ballistic gel, demonstrating excellent performance despite initial concerns about clogging.

This video provides a detailed comparison of PMC Bronze 180gr .44 Magnum JHP and Hornady Custom 200gr XTP .44 Magnum ammunition through ballistic gel testing. The instructor, with experience in firearms instruction, demonstrates the performance differences in velocity, expansion, fragmentation, and penetration. The Hornady XTP significantly outperformed the PMC Bronze in terms of expansion and wound channel creation, while the PMC Bronze acted more like a Full Metal Jacket.

This video details a ballistics gel test of Steinel 380 ACP 80-grain solid copper hollow-point ammunition fired from a Ruger LCP MAX (2.8-inch barrel) and an M&P Shield EZ (3.5-inch barrel). The test highlights significant bullet expansion but limited penetration, falling short of FBI standards. A critical safety incident involving a squib load from the Steinel ammunition is also documented, emphasizing the potential dangers of ammunition malfunctions.

This video provides an extensive overview of recent ammunition purchases from various retailers, including Rural King, a local gun shop, Walmart, and Dunham's. The presenter, an experienced firearms enthusiast, details numerous calibers and brands, offering insights into pricing and availability during a perceived ammo shortage. He highlights deals on 9mm, .45 ACP, .40 S&W, .45-70, .410, and 350 Legend, among others. The video also touches on personal firearm acquisitions, such as a Glock 27 for .40 S&W testing, and solicits viewer input on future firearm purchases in 350 Legend.
