This video compares the performance of four Hodgdon powders (H335, CFE223, Varget, BL-C2) in a 16-inch barreled Tavor 7 chambered in .308 Winchester. The testing focuses on velocity loss compared to advertised 24-inch barrel data, using maximum charges with 150-grain FMJBT bullets. CFE223 yielded the highest velocity, while BL-C2 showed the least velocity loss, indicating good performance in short barrels.

This video presents a ballistic gel test comparing Federal Punch 22 Magnum and Speer Gold Dot 22 Magnum ammunition fired from a Heritage Barkeep Boot with a 1.65-inch barrel. The Federal Punch demonstrated slightly higher velocity (984 fps vs. 936 fps) and significantly more expansion (0.329 inches vs. 0.282 inches) with comparable penetration (13 inches vs. 14.5 inches). Despite the Gold Dot's deeper penetration, the Federal Punch is favored for its superior expansion and wound channel from this short barrel platform.
