This video from Palmetto State Armory explains the distinctions between different types of 5.56 ammunition. It covers training rounds like 55 and 62 grain Full Metal Jacket for range practice, match grade ammunition (69-77 grain) for tighter groups at distance, and hunting rounds (soft points, polymer tips, bonded) designed for expansion on impact.

This video introduces Jagger Sport's caseless ammunition, designed for electronic ignition rifles. The ammunition utilizes pressed gunpowder as its 'case,' eliminating traditional brass. This design significantly reduces weight and eliminates spent casings, making it ideal for military applications. The presenter highlights a 223/5.56 caliber, 55-grain soft point round.

This video from American Outlaw breaks down three essential types of 9mm ammunition: Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) for practice, Hollow Point for self-defense, and Soft Point for hunting. The instructor emphasizes the importance of choosing the right ammo for the intended purpose, highlighting potential over-penetration issues with FMJ in defensive scenarios and the expansion capabilities of Hollow Points. Safe firearm handling and range etiquette are implicitly demonstrated throughout.

This video presents a ballistic gel test comparing two .44 Magnum loads: Underwood 200gr Hard Cast Wadcutter and Remington 240gr HTP Soft Point. The test utilizes a Taurus Tracker with a 4-inch ported barrel and a Labradar chronograph. The Remington HTP significantly outperformed the Underwood wadcutter in terms of velocity, energy, and penetration, a result that surprised the instructor.

This video tests Armscor .22WMR ammunition from both a pistol (Kel-Tec PMR30) and a rifle (Rossi RS22M) using ballistic gel. Close-range testing revealed inconsistent expansion from the pistol, with one shot showing jacket separation and minimal nose disruption, while another expanded slightly after passing through two layers of t-shirt. The rifle consistently achieved better expansion, mushrooming to approximately .30 caliber in bare gel and through four layers of denim, though the presenter suggests this expansion may not be sufficient for longer ranges.

This guide details the expert-level process of manufacturing rifle bullets, as demonstrated by Norma and TGS Outdoors. It covers the critical stages from copper cup formation and lead core production to the final assembly and specialized tipping for Ballistic Tip variants. The explanation highlights the precision required in drawing, cutting, flaring, stamping, and sizing to create high-quality projectiles.

This video demonstrates the extreme power of a custom 700 BMG rifle through a series of rigorous tests. Expert Scott from Kentucky Ballistics showcases the rifle's performance against ballistic targets, including penetration tests through a cinder block wall and a Volkswagen Beetle door, as well as its ability to defeat a Level 4 ceramic body armor plate. The demonstration highlights the catastrophic damage potential of the 700 BMG cartridge.

This video humorously illustrates a common frustration in gun stores: a customer requesting a highly specific and mixed-up ammunition configuration. The employee demonstrates professional customer service by checking inventory and offering solutions, highlighting the importance of clear communication when purchasing firearms components.

This video demonstrates a practical penetration test comparing 5.56 Green Tip (M855) and soft point ammunition. Fired from an AR-15, the M855 rounds exhibited significantly greater penetration on a steel axe head than the soft point rounds, highlighting the penetrator core's effectiveness. The test is conducted by a firearms enthusiast, offering a casual yet informative look at ammunition performance.

This video humorously highlights a common mistake in identifying ammunition types. The speaker initially misidentifies 5.56 Soft Point rounds as FMJ, leading to a montage of corrections from viewers and a self-deprecating meme. It serves as a lighthearted reminder to pay close attention to detail when discussing firearms components.

This ballistic gel test compares Winchester Super X 40gr .22WMR and Winchester Dyna Point 45gr .22WMR. The Super X exhibited better expansion and higher retained velocity, while the Dyna Point showed a flatter mushrooming effect and 100% weight retention. The test also noted the impact of ballistic gelatin calibration on penetration depth.

This video provides an in-depth accuracy test of a Savage 110 rifle chambered in .25-06 Remington, evaluating four different ammunition types at 100 yards. The presenter, demonstrating a good understanding of firearm performance, highlights the sub-MOA potential of the rifle with specific loads. The test reveals significant differences in accuracy between the tested ammunitions, with the Hornady American Whitetail 117gr Soft Point emerging as the most accurate load for this particular rifle setup.
