This video demonstrates the destructive power of various rifle calibers against a concrete block, highlighting bullet performance and energy transfer. It also showcases the Thompson/Center Encore's interchangeable barrel system, allowing for quick caliber changes. The testing provides insights into how different bullet designs and velocities perform against resistant materials, offering practical knowledge for hunters and shooters.

This video demonstrates how different types of Hornady 150-grain ammunition (American Whitetail, Outfitter CX, and Superformance) affect accuracy and point of impact in a .308 rifle. It highlights the importance of selecting ammunition based on game type and testing it thoroughly to ensure proper zero, noting significant point of impact shifts due to velocity and bullet design differences.

This video details the testing of a new 56.4-grain monolithic bullet for the 30 Super Carry cartridge. The instructor, working with High Point Firearms and Velocitas Bullets, explores load data using HS6 powder, achieving velocities over 1700 feet per second from a 3.1-inch barrel. A gel test demonstrates the bullet's terminal performance, showing pedal separation and significant penetration.

This video details the Black Hills Ammunition 5.56 Dual Performance round, highlighting its unique monolithic bullet design. The bullet is engineered to expand rapidly upon impact, creating a significant wound cavity, then shed its 'petals' which continue to cut a wound track. The remaining shank offers deep penetration, a dual performance not easily achieved. Testing in ballistic gel demonstrates immediate expansion, temporary cavity formation, and impressive penetration for a 62-grain 5.56 projectile.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of the Lehigh Defense 90 grain Xtreme Defense 9mm monolithic bullet through ballistic gel testing. The demonstration, conducted by Wilson Combat, highlights the critical role of the bullet's flute design in controlling energy transfer and penetration depth. The fluted version effectively dumped its energy within 18 inches, while a non-fluted variant over-penetrated, proving the design's efficacy for self-defense applications.

This video introduces Hornady's CX (Copper Alloy Expanding) bullet, a monolithic design aimed at discerning hunters, especially those pursuing dangerous game. It highlights the bullet's enhanced accuracy and extended range performance compared to traditional monolithics, attributed to its heat shield tip for high BC and reduced bearing surface grooves for better barrel interaction and reduced fouling. The CX bullet also offers deep penetration and high weight retention due to its single-material construction and is suitable for areas requiring non-traditional bullets.

This YouTube video focuses on a gel test of NovX monolithic 9mm ammunition. The description highlights the unique hybrid-style case of the NovX bullet, suggesting a look into its terminal ballistics and performance characteristics during the test. The content likely explores how this specific ammunition performs when fired into ballistic gel, providing insights into its expansion, penetration, and overall effectiveness for potential self-defense or range use.

This guide details a feral hog hunting technique using the SRC 25-45 Sharps rifle and 100gr Swine Smasher ammunition, as demonstrated by Eric of Iraqveteran8888. It covers gear selection, shot placement for humane kills, and effective use of thermal optics for nighttime hunting. The content highlights the terminal ballistics and penetration capabilities of the Swine Smasher load, emphasizing its effectiveness on medium game and feral hogs.
