Remington HD .410 000 Buckshot & Bond Arms Ballistics Gel Test (HD)

Published on December 8, 2013
Duration: 3:59

This video presents a ballistic gel test of Remington HD Ultimate Home Defense .410 000 buckshot fired from a 2 1/2 inch Bond Arms derringer. The test aimed to provide empirical data on a load often discussed online but rarely tested. The results show decent penetration but potentially low energy transfer, with pellets deforming significantly upon impact. The reviewer concludes that the suitability of this combination for self-defense is a personal decision.

Quick Summary

A ballistic gel test of Remington HD .410 000 buckshot fired from a 2 1/2 inch Bond Arms derringer showed penetration depths from 8.5 to 12.5 inches. The four 000 buckshot pellets spread 2.5 inches at 7 feet and deformed significantly, indicating potentially low energy transfer compared to other calibers.
