Buckeye Ballistics conducted a comprehensive .22LR velocity test using three Ruger firearms with varying barrel lengths (3.5", 10", and 18.5") and eight different ammunition types. The test utilized a Caldwell chronograph to gather empirical data, demonstrating how barrel length significantly impacts projectile velocity. The host, exhibiting high authority in rimfire ballistics, noted Remington ammunition's inconsistency during the rigorous testing process.

The creator details various gear used in their videos, including holsters, steel targets, cameras, audio equipment, safety glasses, and shooting accessories. The review focuses on the functionality and performance of the Ruger 22 Charger, offering insights for potential buyers and enthusiasts of .22 caliber firearms.

This video reviews a custom Ruger 10/22 build featuring an Angstadt Vanquish integrally suppressed barrel, inspired by IDF rifles. Accuracy tests at 100 yards reveal that ammunition quality is the primary driver of precision, with CCI Mini-Mag achieving the best group at 1.693 MOA. The Angstadt Vanquish barrel effectively suppresses .22LR rounds while maintaining accuracy with appropriate loads.

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.
