This video provides a detailed ballistics gel test of Remington HD Ultimate Home Defense .410 000 Buckshot fired from a Bond Arms Derringer. The reviewer, Mrgunsngear Channel, analyzes pellet spread, penetration depth, and pellet deformation, offering insights into the load's effectiveness for self-defense. The test highlights the challenges of achieving consistent velocity with short-barreled firearms and compares the results to other common defensive calibers.

Quick Summary

The Remington HD Ultimate Home Defense .410 000 Buckshot, fired from a Bond Arms Derringer, achieved 8.5-12.5 inches of penetration in ballistic gel with a 2.5-inch spread at 7 feet. Recovered pellets were flattened, indicating low energy transfer compared to 9mm hollow points, and chronograph testing proved inconsistent.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the penetration depth of Remington HD Ultimate Home Defense .410 000 Buckshot fired from a Bond Arms Derringer?

When fired from a 2.5-inch Bond Arms derringer, the Remington HD Ultimate Home Defense .410 000 Buckshot achieved penetration depths ranging from 8.5 to 12.5 inches in ballistic gel, with individual pellets stopping at 8, 9, 10, and 12.5 inches.

How does the pellet spread of .410 000 Buckshot compare when fired from a Bond Arms Derringer?

The pellet spread for Remington HD Ultimate Home Defense .410 000 Buckshot, fired from a Bond Arms Derringer at a distance of 7 feet, was measured at 2.5 inches. This indicates a relatively tight pattern for this ammunition and firearm combination.

What were the observed issues with chronograph testing in the .410 buckshot ballistics test?

During the ballistics test, attempts to measure the velocity of the .410 buckshot fired from the Bond Arms Derringer using a CHRONY Model F-1 chronograph yielded inconsistent and inaccurate results, suggesting potential problems with the testing setup or the ammunition's performance characteristics.

How does the energy transfer of .410 buckshot from a derringer compare to 9mm hollow points?

Based on the observed movement of the ballistic gel block and pellet deformation, the energy transfer of the .410 buckshot load fired from the derringer appeared to be lower compared to previously tested 9mm hollow points, suggesting potentially less effectiveness for self-defense.
