Duration: 12:59

This video details a ballistic gel test of Federal Power-Shok 10mm Auto 200-grain jacketed hollow-point ammunition. The test was conducted using a 5-inch barrel Magnum Research 1911 and a 4.6-inch barrel Glock G20, with chronograph readings and gel penetration/expansion measurements recorded. The presenter notes that while the ammunition performed adequately for its advertised purpose, the velocity and energy levels are considered low for the 10mm Auto caliber.

Quick Summary

The Federal Power-Shok 10mm Auto 200-grain HP ammunition achieved an average velocity of 1092 FPS from a 5-inch 1911 and 966 FPS from a 4.6-inch Glock G20. In ballistic gel, it penetrated 23 inches from the 1911 and 22 inches from the G20, with significant expansion and full weight retention.

Frequently Asked Questions

What were the chronograph results for Federal Power-Shok 10mm 200-grain HP ammunition?

From a 5-inch barrel 1911, the average velocity was 1092 FPS. From a 4.6-inch barrel Glock G20, the average velocity was 966 FPS. Advertised velocity was 1110 FPS.

How did the Federal Power-Shok 10mm 200-grain HP perform in ballistic gel?

The ammunition achieved 23 inches of penetration from a 1911 and 22 inches from a G20. Both projectiles showed significant expansion and retained their full weight.

Is Federal Power-Shok 10mm 200-grain HP suitable for hunting?

The presenter suggests it would perform adequately for medium game, noting good expansion and penetration. However, they also state the velocity is lower than expected for 10mm, suggesting it could be improved.

What is the difference in performance between a 1911 and a Glock G20 with this 10mm ammunition?

The difference was minimal, with the 1911 averaging slightly higher velocity and penetration. The less than half-inch barrel difference had little impact on the overall ballistic performance.
