Duration: 13:38

This video details a ballistic gel test of Winchester Supreme Black Talon 10mm ammunition. The test reveals significantly lower than expected velocities and poor performance through clothing barriers, with one round failing to expand and penetrating 32 inches. While a round fired through a single t-shirt did expand, the overall performance is deemed 'pathetic' and 'atrocious' for the 10mm caliber, suggesting the ammunition's legendary status is largely hype.

Quick Summary

Expert ballistic gel testing of Winchester Black Talon 10mm ammunition revealed significantly disappointing performance. The 200-grain rounds averaged only 936 fps from a Glock 20 Gen 4. Through heavy clothing, the rounds failed to expand and penetrated 32 inches, while even a single t-shirt barrier resulted in limited expansion and penetration.
