This expert-level review details a ballistic gel test of the Winchester Black Talon .357 Magnum 180-grain ammunition. The host, demonstrating high authority and extensive experience, utilized professional equipment like the LabRadar chronograph and standardized testing protocols. The ammunition showed significant expansion and penetration through a heavy clothing barrier, exceeding expectations for its design.

This video addresses the common practice of cycling carry ammunition and its potential implications. The presenter explains that repeatedly chambering and ejecting rounds can lead to 'setback,' where the bullet is pushed deeper into the casing, potentially increasing internal pressure. While modern firearms and ammunition are robust, this phenomenon is a factor to consider for reliability and safety. The advice is to inspect carry ammo for signs of damage or setback and to replace any suspect rounds to ensure optimal performance.

This video continues a test of live ammunition's water resistance, submerging rounds for two months. The results show that steel-cased 7.62x39 and standard brass-cased .223 Remington failed to fire after two months underwater. However, nickel-plated .223 Remington with sealed primers remained functional, demonstrating superior durability in harsh, wet conditions.
