This video celebrates the 90th anniversary of the .357 Magnum cartridge, showcasing its historical development and versatility. Hickok45 demonstrates various firearms chambered in .357 Magnum, from the original Smith & Wesson Registered Magnum to modern revolvers and lever-action rifles. The discussion highlights the cartridge's ability to also fire .38 Special rounds and its evolution from earlier designs.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of two powerful subsonic heavy bullets: the Steinel 700gr .50 Beowulf and the Steinel 730gr .45-70 Government. Testing in ballistic gel and plywood reveals that while both rounds possess significant momentum, the .45-70 demonstrated deeper penetration in sand and a near-plywood penetration after gel, suggesting 'skinny' bullets can outperform 'wide' ones at subsonic speeds. Recoil was comparable, with the .45-70 slightly higher.

This video features a ballistic gel test and review of Steinel's 9mm subsonic 124-grain copper expander ammunition. The test aims to determine if this lower-velocity ammunition can still provide adequate self-defense performance. It includes testing with both a Canik Mete MC9 and a Glock 19, with a heavy clothing barrier simulation in the ballistic gel. The content is presented as a review and performance evaluation of the ammunition and is suitable for firearms enthusiasts interested in defensive handgun calibers and ammunition performance.

This video tests Steinel's .45 ACP ammunition, specifically loaded to lower .455 Webley pressures, in a standard 1911 pistol. The experiment confirms that these reduced-pressure rounds possess sufficient energy to reliably cycle the 1911's action, with the slide locking back on an empty magazine. This demonstrates the viability of using such ammunition in 1911s that might otherwise be damaged by standard .45 ACP loads.

This video features a ballistic gel test and review of Steinel's 10mm self-defense ammunition. The reviewer evaluates the performance of this copper expanding round, particularly for defensive purposes, using heavy clothing simulation. The tests are conducted with Glock 20 and Glock 29 pistols on a private range. The video aims to determine if Steinel can deliver the expected performance from a 10mm defensive cartridge.

The Hi-Point 3095 Carbine is reviewed, initially mistaken for a 7.65 French Long caliber firearm. Testing reveals it's designed for the modern .30 Super Carry round, though it functions with the older cartridge. The review highlights the ballistic differences and questions the caliber choice given the carbine's 10-round magazine limitation.

This video features a ballistic gel test of 9mm Steinel solid copper expanding hollow point ammunition. The testing is conducted using two different pistol platforms: the P80 PF940v2 and the Sig P365. The focus is on demonstrating the "threat stopping" capability of this specific ammunition type. The description emphasizes that the content is for informational purposes only and all shooting is done in a controlled, private environment.

Jerry Miculek tests the durability of a 1996 high-speed camera by shooting it with powerful rifle calibers. The .500 Auto Max and .460 Weatherby rifles, firing heavy bullets at high velocities, demonstrate the camera's surprising resilience before a final solid penetrator round ensures complete destruction. The video highlights the robust engineering of older electronic devices.

Ian McCollum competed in the Backup Gun Match using a Type 94 Nambu pistol, facing challenges across four distinct stages. He experienced significant malfunctions, attributing them to underpowered Precision Cartridge ammunition. McCollum recommends Steinel 8mm Nambu for better performance and advises on the importance of reliable ammunition in competitive shooting.
