This video conducts a clear ballistics gel test of various 30 Super Carry ammunition types, comparing performance from both a Smith & Wesson Shield Plus handgun and a Hi-Point 3095 carbine. The test highlights significant velocity differences between the handgun and carbine, leading to varied projectile performance, particularly in terms of expansion and fragmentation when exceeding designed velocities. Monolithic copper bullets demonstrated consistent penetration without expansion, while jacketed hollow points showed extreme fragmentation at higher carbine velocities.
This video details the testing of a new 56.4-grain monolithic bullet for the 30 Super Carry cartridge. The instructor, working with High Point Firearms and Velocitas Bullets, explores load data using HS6 powder, achieving velocities over 1700 feet per second from a 3.1-inch barrel. A gel test demonstrates the bullet's terminal performance, showing pedal separation and significant penetration.
