This video tests Federal Train and Protect 10mm Auto ammunition with 180-grain Versatile HP projectiles using ballistic gel. Despite initial concerns about low advertised velocities and previous mixed results, the ammunition demonstrated surprisingly effective expansion and penetration in ballistic gel tests, performing comparably to .40 S&W rounds. The presenter emphasizes that while the performance was good, the velocities are still considered weak for the 10mm caliber, suggesting it might be better suited for other platforms if higher performance is desired.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Federal Train & Protect 180-grain .40 S&W ammunition, evaluating its performance through a clothing barrier. The test reveals inconsistent velocity readings and limited projectile expansion, leading to the conclusion that the ammunition is underpowered for optimal self-defense performance. The instructor notes that while the rounds might still be effective, they do not meet expectations for the price point and exhibit significant inconsistency.

This video presents a ballistic gel test of Federal Train and Protect 380 ACP ammunition featuring the Versatile HP projectile. The test compares performance from two different barrel lengths: a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 (2.75-inch barrel) and a Performance Center M&P EZ (3.8-inch barrel). The instructor, with experience testing this ammunition in other calibers, evaluates muzzle velocity, projectile expansion, and penetration depth through a heavy clothing barrier and ballistic gel.
