CCI UPPERCUT .22WMR 22 Magnum Ballistic Gel Test & Review

This comprehensive review details the performance of CCI Uppercut .22 LR ammunition, specifically its velocity, accuracy, and terminal ballistics. Testing conducted with a Ruger 22 Charger and a Caldwell chronograph revealed significantly higher velocities than advertised. Ballistics gel tests demonstrated effective expansion and penetration, with the speaker noting potential improvements with stabilizing braces for accuracy.

This review details a negative customer service and warranty repair experience with a Taurus 942 Ultra-Lite revolver. The firearm suffered from persistent extraction issues, requiring over a year for Taurus to offer a replacement. While the speaker appreciates the firearm's design, the extensive delay significantly impacts brand recommendation.

This YouTube video conducts a ballistic gel test and review comparing the 5.7x28mm and .22 Magnum calibers, specifically focusing on Hornady Critical Defense ammunition. The comparison pits the Palmetto State Armory Rock 5.7 against the Walther WMP pistol. The test simulates heavy clothing penetration, aiming to determine which round is the superior choice for various applications. The video also includes promotional links for channel memberships and affiliate products, while emphasizing safe shooting practices on a private range.

This review by CajunBoyJake tests the accuracy of a North American Arms Mini Revolver with a 1-inch barrel at various distances. The speaker demonstrates a unique sight alignment technique and concludes that 15 yards is the maximum effective range for this firearm, primarily classifying it as a 'get-off-me' defensive tool due to its inherent limitations in precision aiming and accuracy at longer distances. The video also touches on its discreet carry potential.

This review delves into the Charter Arms 'Dual Pathfinder' or 'Pathfinder Combo' convertible .22 revolver, exploring its history and performance. The reviewer, an experienced firearms instructor, shares findings from extensive research and personal range tests, comparing .22LR and .22 Magnum cylinder performance. Key takeaways include historical context from 1970s magazines and catalogs, insights into cylinder interchangeability issues between older and newer models, and the primary design intent of the Dual Pathfinder as a .22LR firearm with an optional .22 Magnum cylinder.

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.
