This video provides an expert-level analysis of the lethality of .22LR ammunition at point-blank range, specifically focusing on contact shots. The host, demonstrating high authority and practical knowledge, uses a Ruger Mark IV Lite and various CCI .22LR rounds, including the Stinger hollow point and Mini-Mag round nose, to test their effects on ballistic dummies and simulated skulls. The experiments highlight how gas pressure and bullet type influence wound characteristics and stealth at contact distances.

This video reviews Federal Premium Hammer Down 22LR ammunition, specifically testing its performance in a Ruger LCP II pistol. The reviewer notes the ammo's 40-grain, 1200 FPS, plated hollowpoint characteristics and its compatibility with the LCP II, which has historically been finicky. The ammunition is deemed a success for this particular firearm.

This video details a ballistic coefficient test conducted by The Gun Dungeon, focusing on how starting muzzle velocity and ballistic coefficient affect bullet velocity drop at 100 yards. The instructor uses a .30-06 cartridge with various 150-grain and 208-grain bullets, employing chronographs to measure velocities. The results indicate that higher starting velocities can lead to greater velocity loss over distance, and a higher ballistic coefficient significantly reduces velocity drop.

This video compares the terminal performance of three types of .22LR ammunition fired from a pistol into coconuts: standard round nose, hollow point, and hyper velocity hollow point. The instructor demonstrates that while the round nose and hollow point show moderate penetration and expansion, the hyper velocity hollow point significantly outperforms them, causing more dramatic fragmentation of the coconut. The video highlights the importance of ammunition selection for terminal effects and notes that higher velocity rounds generally offer better performance.

Jerry Miculek recounts his early experiences with firearms, starting with BB guns and pellet guns. His first centerfire revolver experience was with a Smith & Wesson Model 28 Highway Patrolman on his grandfather's farm in Texas. He also discusses his uncle's Colt 25 Automatic, highlighting the historical context of early micro handguns and the ammunition used.

This guide details a ballistic gel test comparing the penetration of 9mm FMJ Flat Nose versus Round Nose projectiles. The test, conducted by an experienced instructor, utilizes a P80 pistol and a chronograph to measure velocities and penetration depths in ballistic gel. The results indicate that flat nose FMJ bullets achieve greater penetration than round nose FMJ bullets, exiting the gel blocks and impacting a log behind the setup.

This video investigates whether the nose shape of a .380 FMJ bullet impacts its penetration distance. Using a Smith & Wesson M&P Performance Center Shield EZ, the test explores the practical implications of different FMJ bullet designs, particularly in the context of ammunition shortages. The creator emphasizes that all testing is conducted safely on a private range and is not affiliated with any retailers or manufacturers. They also note that no firearms or ammunition are being sold through the video or its description.

This video compares the accuracy of CCI Mini-Mag Hollow Point, CCI Mini-Mag Round Nose, and CCI Standard Velocity .22LR ammunition at 50 yards using a stock Ruger 10/22 Takedown Backpaker. The goal is to determine which everyday, non-match grade ammo performs best in a typical rifle. Detailed test targets are available on the Moondog Industries website.

This video explains the meaning of various labels on ammunition boxes, focusing on bullet weight (grains), construction types (FMJ, JHP, copper-plated, cast lead, frangible, soft point), and bullet shapes (round nose, truncated cone, semi-wadcutter, wadcutter). It clarifies that 'grain' is a unit of weight for the bullet itself, not powder or sand. The instructor emphasizes understanding these distinctions for proper ammunition selection and performance.

This video tests three brands of coated lead bullets (SNS, Blue Bullets, and Gallant) for smoke production during shooting. The presenter conducts a cold bore shot test for each brand, using Alliant Sport Pistol powder, to evaluate performance as the barrel heats up. The results indicate that SNS bullets produced significantly more smoke compared to Blue Bullets and Gallant bullets, which smoked about the same. Accuracy was also briefly discussed, with Gallant and SNS potentially being more accurate than Blue Bullets in the presenter's firearm.

This YouTube video from TheFireArmGuy compares the effectiveness of .22LR hollow point ammunition against .22LR round nose ammunition through range testing. The video also briefly features a .22 WMR round from a North American Arms Pug. The creator encourages subscriptions, sharing, and likes, and links to various playlists covering rifle, shotgun, handgun reviews, gear, and Second Amendment content. The primary focus is on ballistics and terminal performance of different .22LR bullet types.
