Just As GOOD As The 9MM?...Winchester White Box .380 Auto Self-Defense AMMO Test!

This video tests Fiocchi Defense Dynamics .380 ACP 90-grain jacketed hollow point ammunition through two different firearms: a Ruger LCP Max and an S&W M&P Shield EZ. The testing involved chronograph readings and ballistic gel tests with a heavy clothing barrier. The results indicate poor performance from both firearms, with a lack of expansion and inconsistent tumbling from the LCP Max, and no expansion from the EZ, despite achieving higher velocities.

This video tests Ammo Inc's 125-grain .357 Magnum jacketed hollow point ammunition using a 2-inch Taurus 605 and a 4-inch Ruger GP100. Chronograph data revealed significant velocity differences between the two barrel lengths, with the 2-inch barrel averaging 987 FPS and the 4-inch averaging 1234 FPS. Gel testing showed poor expansion and penetration from the 2-inch barrel, while the 4-inch barrel demonstrated better expansion and wound channel disruption.

This video provides a detailed ballistics test of Winchester White Box 110gr JHP .357 Magnum ammunition fired from two Taurus revolvers: a 2-inch barrel 605 and a 4-inch barrel 608. The test measures velocity, gel penetration, expansion, and fragmentation, highlighting the significant impact of barrel length on performance. The instructor notes that while the ammunition offers good expansion, penetration is a concern, especially from shorter barrels.

This comprehensive test evaluates Underwood's 100-grain Hardcast .380 Auto +P ammunition using a Lab Radar chrono and gel blocks with a heavy clothing barrier. The expert instructor demonstrates its performance from both a Ruger LCP Max and a Smith & Wesson Shield EZ, highlighting significant velocity differences and extreme penetration capabilities. The analysis concludes that while penetration is high, potentially exceeding typical self-defense needs, it's a viable option for home defense scenarios.

This video compares Federal Premium HST 230gr and Federal Personal Defense (blue box) 230gr .45 ACP ammunition through a heavy clothing barrier and ballistic gel. The Federal Premium HST demonstrated significantly superior expansion and consistent penetration, achieving an average velocity of 890 fps. The blue box Federal, while meeting its advertised 850 fps average velocity, showed minimal expansion and less consistent performance in the gel test.

This video tests Winchester White Box .45 ACP 230-grain jacketed hollow-point ammunition for self-defense effectiveness. The tests involved velocity measurements from a 4.25-inch and a 5-inch barrel, followed by ballistic gel testing with a heavy clothing barrier. While the ammunition showed some expansion and penetration, the results were deemed inconsistent and not cost-effective compared to higher-performing alternatives.
