Is a .22lr Hollowpoint better than a .22lr Round Nose? Range Test - TheFireArmGuy

This video tests the penetration capabilities of three different 9mm rounds (RIP, Hollow Point, FMJ) through 10 lbs of peanut butter. The RIP round and Hollow Point were stopped by the peanut butter, while the FMJ round penetrated multiple jugs, demonstrating varying levels of terminal performance and penetration.

This video compares the terminal performance of three types of .22LR ammunition fired from a pistol into coconuts: standard round nose, hollow point, and hyper velocity hollow point. The instructor demonstrates that while the round nose and hollow point show moderate penetration and expansion, the hyper velocity hollow point significantly outperforms them, causing more dramatic fragmentation of the coconut. The video highlights the importance of ammunition selection for terminal effects and notes that higher velocity rounds generally offer better performance.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides an expert-level comparison of .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR calibers using two different ammunition types for each against chicken carcasses. The instructor demonstrates the terminal ballistics, including penetration and fragmentation, of various rounds at 15 yards, offering insights into their effectiveness for varmint control or small game. The analysis highlights how bullet construction and velocity influence terminal performance.

This video demonstrates the impact of different calibers on a Jawbreaker candy. A .22LR projectile from a Schweizer Industri Xel Shaft P32 caused the candy to break but was stopped by it. A 9mm projectile, however, passed through the candy and impacted a steel target behind it, suggesting the 9mm's energy negates the candy's stopping power.

This video demonstrates a ballistics test comparing the penetration power of various pistol calibers (.380 ACP, 9mm Luger, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, 10mm Auto) against bowling balls. The instructor uses FMJ ammunition and documents the impact and damage caused by each caliber, also including a .22LR test for comparative analysis. The experiment highlights the differences in terminal ballistics between common handgun rounds.

This ballistic gel test compares Sinterfire and Fiocchi Guardian Blue .40 S&W ammunition. Both rounds demonstrated significant fragmentation, creating large wound cavities. The Fiocchi Guardian Blue appeared to produce a slightly larger average wound cavity. Both met FBI penetration standards through denim, with the Sinterfire retaining 57 grains and the Fiocchi retaining 51.9 grains through denim.
