Back To Basics!...Federal Power Shock vs Fusion .30-30 AMMO Test!

This video details a ballistic gel test of Federal Power-Shok 10mm Auto 200-grain jacketed hollow-point ammunition. The test was conducted using a 5-inch barrel Magnum Research 1911 and a 4.6-inch barrel Glock G20, with chronograph readings and gel penetration/expansion measurements recorded. The presenter notes that while the ammunition performed adequately for its advertised purpose, the velocity and energy levels are considered low for the 10mm Auto caliber.

This video tests Federal Fusion 200gr 10mm ammunition through Springfield Armory XD-M pistols with 3.8" and 4.5" barrels using Clear Ballistics Gel.
