300 Win Mag vs 338 Win Mag vs 7mm Mag: Not Even Close?

This video compares the 7mm PRC, 7mm Rem Mag, and .280 Rem through various barrier tests including wood, steel, and concrete. The 7mm PRC consistently demonstrated superior performance in cratering steel targets, especially after concrete penetration. While the 7mm Rem Mag showed competitive results in some steel tests and higher average velocity with a lighter bullet, the 7mm PRC led in muzzle energy.

This video provides an in-depth review of the world's first public 7mm PRC rifle build. It details the custom rifle's specifications, including the Defiance action, Preferred Barrel Blanks barrel, MDT chassis, and Leupold optic. The review includes crucial velocity testing with various powders and bullet weights, offering valuable insights into safe pressure limits and expected factory load performance. A direct comparison with the 7mm Rem Mag highlights the 7mm PRC's velocity advantage.

This video tests the capabilities of two specialized ammunition types, Armor Piercing (AP) and Armor Piercing Incendiary (API), fired from a .300 Winchester Magnum rifle against AR550 steel targets. The creator aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of these rounds beyond standard ammunition and to showcase the durability of TA Targets' steel. The test includes accuracy and velocity measurements for both AP and API rounds, observations of pressure signs, and detailed inspection of the target impacts. The video emphasizes the educational purpose and warns viewers against attempting these dangerous tests at home, also noting the legal restrictions on AP ammunition in certain areas. It concludes by discussing the engineering of steel targets and the relevance of such tests.

This video explores the experimental creation of subsonic ammunition for the 300 Winchester Magnum caliber. The creator, describing themselves as a 'mad scientist,' details their process of developing subsonic loads by adjusting powder charges, aiming to achieve a quieter shooting experience, often referred to as 'Hollywood' quiet. The video includes reference shots with standard ammunition, examines the performance on a steel target, and provides a brief explanation of what constitutes subsonic ammunition. A discount code for the steel target system used is also offered towards the end.

This video features testing of Federal 165 grain Fusion ammunition against an AR550 steel plate. The description indicates that the plate was returned for quality testing and is confirmed to be without defects, suggesting it was impacted by a powerful round. The content focuses on ammunition performance and material resilience.

This YouTube video features a ballistics gel test comparing the performance of the 7 PRC and 300 Win Mag rifle calibers. The title explicitly states the comparison and the use of ballistics gel, indicating a scientific or comparative analysis of terminal ballistics. The description also provides affiliate links to gear the creator recommends, suggesting a focus on firearm-related content and equipment.

This comparison tests the .50 AE Desert Eagle against the .44 Magnum in various barrier tests, including wood, steel, sand, and concrete. While both calibers showed impressive power, the .50 AE demonstrated superior performance in ballistic gel with deeper penetration and a larger wound channel. Ultimately, the video questions if the .50 AE's marginal gains justify its significantly higher cost per round compared to the versatile .44 Magnum.

This video provides a detailed comparison between .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition, demonstrating their performance differences through rigorous barrier testing. While visually identical, 5.56 NATO shows a slight advantage in velocity and energy. Crucially, 5.56 NATO exhibits superior barrier penetration against lumber and steel, whereas .223 Remington struggles. Specialized rounds like M855A1 also show enhanced performance against sand barriers.

This video tests the lethality of various 'less lethal' shotgun rounds, including rubber buckshot, bean bags, and specialized projectiles. The .410 rubber buckshot demonstrated significantly higher velocity and penetration than 12-gauge versions. Bean bag rounds proved to be the most damaging, causing substantial plywood destruction and ballistic gel displacement, leading the host to conclude they are the most lethal 'less lethal' option.

This video compares 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP through various barrier tests including lumber, sand, and concrete, alongside ballistics gel testing. While all calibers performed similarly through most barriers, the .40 S&W showed slightly better penetration and expansion in ballistics gel. The host ultimately favors 9mm due to its lower recoil and higher capacity, despite the .40 S&W's respectable performance.
