Caldwell Chronograph 2.0 Pro Kit Review & Shoot - Chrono

This video provides a practical test of .44 Special wadcutter ammunition, featuring a custom Charter Arms .44 Bulldog revolver. The test includes visual inspection of the ammunition and firearm, live-fire demonstration, and crucial ballistic data captured by a Garmin Xero Chronograph. The instructor, demonstrating experienced authority, shares velocity readings (Avg 555.2 FPS, Min 501.3 FPS, Max 606.7 FPS) from four shots.

This review tests .45 Long Colt Dragon's Breath rounds designed for revolvers, produced by Hickory Flat Boars. Unlike traditional ammo, these rounds lack a projectile, instead expelling pyrotechnic sparks. While less overwhelming than shotgun versions, they offer a unique visual effect and travel a comparable distance, making them easier to observe in detail.

This review tests the effectiveness of a 12-gauge double slug shell, finding it delivers significant energy transfer and a tight grouping at 35 yards. The test involved ballistics gel, a water target, and paper accuracy, demonstrating the potential of this multi-projectile load for various applications.

This video provides a detailed look at a 10mm handload featuring 9.0 grains of Hodgdon Longshot powder and a 165gr Sig Sauer V-Crown JHP bullet. An experienced handloader demonstrates the process and conducts chronograph testing through a Glock 29 (3.78-inch barrel) and a 1911 (5-inch barrel), yielding velocities of 1225 fps and 1325 fps respectively. The data highlights the impact of barrel length on ballistic performance.

This YouTube video, titled ".45 ACP: o poder de parada dessa munição é tudo isso mesmo?" (Is the stopping power of this .45 ACP ammunition really all that?), delves into the effectiveness of the .45 ACP cartridge. Based solely on the title, the content likely explores the terminal ballistics and practical stopping power of this well-known handgun caliber, possibly comparing it to others or discussing its historical significance and performance in real-world scenarios. It aims to answer whether the reputation of .45 ACP's stopping power is fully justified.

This video compares the stopping power of .45 ACP against a 9mm hollow point using ballistic gel. While the .45 ACP showed more energy transfer and tunneling, it did not significantly move the gel target more than the 9mm, surprising the host. The test highlights differences in recoil and terminal ballistics between the two popular handgun calibers.

This video compares the terminal performance of five common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) by shooting watermelons. The test demonstrates a significant increase in destructive power from .22LR up to .45 ACP, with the larger calibers causing more explosive expansion and fragmentation. Specific hollow-point ammunition from Speer, Aguila, and Underwood was used, highlighting the importance of bullet construction for terminal ballistics.

Buckeye Ballistics conducted a comparative test of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating significant firearm and ballistics knowledge, emphasized extreme safety precautions due to ricochet risks. The test revealed that while larger calibers showed more damage, none could fully penetrate the concrete block's second wall, suggesting limitations for self-defense scenarios against hardened barriers.

This Taurus TX22 review details its performance with various .22 LR ammunition. While initially reliable with CCI Mini-Mags and cycling standard velocity rounds well, it encountered malfunctions with sub-sonic and high-velocity loads. A catastrophic failure occurred due to a squib load followed by a second shot, resulting in a bulged barrel and damaged magazine.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR rimfire cartridges using cantaloupes as targets. The .22LR showed a clean pass-through with minor damage, the .22WMR caused an explosive front-face disintegration, and the .17HMR, despite its speed, disintegrated internally with no exit. The test highlights how different rimfire rounds perform on soft tissue simulants.
