This video provides an expert-level review of the top 10 most deadly .22 LR and .22 WMR ammunition available in the US, focusing on their effectiveness for self-defense and hunting. The instructor details ballistic data, bullet construction, and performance characteristics of various loads, offering practical advice for choosing the right ammunition based on firearm type and intended use.

This video reviews several .22LR and .22 Magnum ammunition options for self-defense and hunting, highlighting their terminal ballistics, velocity, and intended applications. It emphasizes that while .22LR is often underestimated, specific loads can offer effective performance, particularly with proper shot placement. The review covers Federal Punch, CCI Stinger, CCI Velocitor, Aguila Interceptor, Hornady FTX Critical Defense, Speer TNT, Norma Hunter, and Winchester Defender.

This video tests the accuracy of a CVA Scout V2 Takedown rifle chambered in 300 Blackout. The instructor evaluates several ammunition types, including Speer TNT 125gr, Hornady SST 125gr, Barnes Tac-TX 110gr, and Hornady CX 110gr, noting the impact of wind and optic limitations on group sizes. The rifle is intended for deer hunting, and the instructor ultimately selects the 110gr Barnes Tac-TX or 125gr Hornady SST for its performance.

This video details a ballistics gel test of a .308 Winchester cartridge loaded with a 125-grain Speer TNT varmint bullet. The test, conducted from a 16-inch barrel using BLC-2 powder, demonstrates the bullet's extreme fragmentation upon impact, creating a significant wound cavity and achieving approximately 16.5 to 17 inches of penetration. The results highlight the bullet's intended performance as a varmint round designed for rapid expansion and destruction.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test of three .22 WMR (22 Magnum) pistol ammunition types: CCI Maxi-Mag TNT, Speer TNT, and TNT Green. The tests, conducted from a 3-inch barrel pistol, evaluate bullet expansion, penetration, and fragmentation through ballistic gel and denim barriers. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, offers insights into the performance differences, particularly noting the tumbling behavior of the TNT Green round and the reliable expansion of the standard TNT variants.

This video compares the performance of Speer Gold Dot 40-grain and Federal V-Shok (loaded with 30-grain Speer TNT) .22 WMR ammunition in ballistic gel. The test was conducted using a 3.5-inch Heritage Rough Rider revolver. The Federal V-Shok demonstrated significantly greater expansion but less penetration compared to the Speer Gold Dot, which offered more penetration but less dramatic expansion.

This video features an unboxing and initial review of various ammunition types sent to the channel host. The host expresses gratitude for the contributions, highlighting specific calibers and brands like Fort Scott Munitions, Grizzly Ammunition, Federal Punch, Aguila, PPU, Underwood, and Mag-Tech. He notes the rarity and difficulty in finding some of these rounds, particularly in the current market, and anticipates testing them for future content.

This video presents a ballistic gel test for the 300 Blackout caliber, evaluating the performance of several different bullet types. The tested projectiles include the Sierra Game King 200g, SST 150g, SST 125g, Speer TNT 125g, and GMX 110g. The test incorporates four layers of denim to simulate clothing and includes chronograph velocities for each shot, providing valuable data on terminal ballistics and bullet expansion for various 300 BLK loads.

This review tests the performance of 125-grain Speer TNT .300 AAC Blackout ammunition fired from an 8-inch AR-15 upper. The testing involved ballistic gelatin to evaluate expansion and penetration. While the ammunition performed better than Full Metal Jacket rounds, it was deemed mediocre due to late expansion, a relatively small temporary stretch cavity, and excessive penetration exceeding FBI recommendations.
