The ORIGINAL "Treasury Load"...Winchester .38 Special +P+ 110 Grain Ballistic Gel AMMO Test!

This video details a ballistic gel test of Federal Hydra-Shok 110 grain .38 Special ammunition. The test utilizes a heavy clothing barrier and multiple firearm barrel lengths (2-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch) to evaluate bullet expansion and penetration. The results indicate that the ammunition struggles to achieve consistent expansion through the barrier, particularly at lower velocities typical of shorter barrels.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test comparing 110-grain and 125-grain Remington HTP .357 Magnum ammunition fired from a 2-inch barrel Taurus 605 revolver. The instructor analyzes velocity, penetration, and expansion, noting significant differences in recoil between the two loads. The 125-grain load demonstrated superior penetration and expansion, making it the preferred choice despite higher recoil.

This review of OATH's Tango ammunition showcases its performance in ballistic gel tests. The 110-grain projectile, traveling at 1200 feet per second, demonstrated significant expansion and wound cavity creation, particularly in a Glock 19. However, concerns were raised about its accuracy beyond defensive ranges.
