Federal 165 grain Fusion ammo vs AR550

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 delves into the nuances of 5.56mm ammunition selection, emphasizing that bullet design and terminal ballistics often matter more than caliber alone. It explores how factors like fragmentation, yaw, and energy transfer influence effectiveness, comparing various rounds from cost-effective M193/M855 to specialized hunting and match-grade options. Ultimately, the discussion highlights that while advanced ammunition offers benefits, precise shot placement remains paramount for successful outcomes.

This video presents a ballistic gel test comparing two loads of Federal Premium HST ammunition in .40 S&W: 155 grain and 165 grain. The test utilizes a Glock 27 pistol and simulates heavy clothing to evaluate the effectiveness of each load for self-defense purposes. The creator is not affiliated with the brands shown and emphasizes that all shooting is conducted safely on a private range.

This comparison tested the penetration capabilities of 7mm Rem Mag, 300 Win Mag, and 338 Win Mag against various barriers including wood, mild steel, sand, and concrete. While all calibers performed similarly through wood, sand, and concrete, the 300 Win Mag demonstrated superior penetration through thicker mild steel plates, making it the overall winner in this specific test scenario.

This video features a ballistic gel test of 10mm Federal Fusion 200gr ammunition. The test is conducted using two Springfield Armory XD-M pistols, one with a 3.8-inch barrel and another with a 4.5-inch barrel. The content focuses on evaluating the performance of the ammunition in terms of penetration, expansion, and other terminal ballistics characteristics. The description also includes links to the creator's merchandise store and social media profiles.

TA Targets showcases an extreme warranty claim involving a 1/2 inch AR550 steel target penetrated by an unknown caliber. Despite the damage likely being caused by a .50 BMG Raufoss round, not a .300 Win Mag as initially suggested by the customer, TA Targets replaced the target for free. This highlights their commitment to customer service and their confidence in their product's durability.

This video showcases the TA Targets Phoenix Plate Rack, constructed from durable AR550 steel with six reactive plates. The demonstration highlights rapid, accurate engagement of the targets using a 9mm handgun, emphasizing the effectiveness of the setup for firearm training and practice. The shooter's proficiency and the gear's performance suggest it's a top-tier option for range enthusiasts.

This video showcases the TA Targets Competition Dueling Tree in a head-to-head shooting drill. Two competitors use semi-automatic handguns with red dot optics to rapidly engage six reactive AR500 steel paddles. The drill emphasizes speed and accuracy in a competitive shooting scenario.

This video explores the concept of 'bag guns,' advocating for carbines carried in backpacks as a potent supplement to a handgun for self-defense. It details three distinct setups: a 10.3-inch 5.56 AR, a compact 5-inch .300 Blackout SBR, and an 8.3-inch 7.62x39mm Galil ACE Gen 2. The 'gray man' philosophy is emphasized for concealability, alongside practical considerations like deployment times and realistic training.
