This video provides a detailed ballistic test of Winchester Elite Defender .380 ACP 95-grain bonded jacketed hollow-point ammunition. The test uses two different firearms, a Ruger LCP Max and an M&P Performance Center Shield EZ, to evaluate velocity and terminal performance through a heavy clothing barrier into ballistic gel. The instructor expresses initial skepticism about the .380 ACP's ability to achieve sufficient velocity for proper expansion with this type of projectile but is ultimately surprised by the results.

This video compares PMC Bronze 170gr JHP and Winchester Elite Defender 180gr Bonded JHP 10mm ammunition through gel testing. While the PMC Bronze offered superior penetration (18.5 inches) and adequate expansion, the Winchester Elite Defender demonstrated significantly greater expansion (13.25 inches penetration) with a larger recovered projectile, making it the preferred choice for self-defense.

This video conducts a ballistic gel test comparing Winchester Elite Defender and Browning X-Point 9mm ammunition fired from a Ruger PC Charger with a 6.5-inch barrel. Both ammunition types demonstrated excellent performance with significant wound channels and good expansion. The Winchester Elite Defender showed slightly more consistent and larger expansion, while the Browning X-Point experienced a notable rebound and tumbled, impacting its expansion.
