This video tests Winchester White Box .45 ACP 230-grain jacketed hollow-point ammunition for self-defense effectiveness. The tests involved velocity measurements from a 4.25-inch and a 5-inch barrel, followed by ballistic gel testing with a heavy clothing barrier. While the ammunition showed some expansion and penetration, the results were deemed inconsistent and not cost-effective compared to higher-performing alternatives.

This video tests LAX Ammo's 230-grain plated hollow point .45 ACP ammunition, explicitly marketed as target rounds and not ideal for self-defense. The test involved chronographing velocities from 4.25-inch and 5-inch barrels and firing rounds into ballistic gel behind a heavy clothing barrier. Results showed minimal expansion and significant over-penetration, confirming the manufacturer's warnings.

This video details a ballistics test of Steinel 185-grain solid copper hollow-point .45 ACP ammunition fired from two 1911 pistols: a Taurus Commander with a 4.25-inch barrel and a Rock Island Armory with a 5-inch barrel. The test measured velocity, gel penetration, and projectile expansion, comparing the performance between the two barrel lengths. The presenter, experienced in ammunition testing, provides insights into the ammunition's performance relative to advertised specifications and its effectiveness.
