When Is Best Millimeter Not Really Best? 10mm S&B 180gr JHP Gel Test

This video provides a practical, experimental guide to understanding how winter clothing can impede self-defense ammunition performance. The host, demonstrating high authority in tactical gear and ammunition testing, uses ballistic gel to show that common JHP rounds in .380 ACP and 9mm Luger often fail to expand when fired through heavy clothing, leading to over-penetration. The 10mm Auto is highlighted as a caliber that can maintain expansion under these conditions.

The expert emphasizes the importance of proactive stocking for calibers like .300 Blackout, .308 Winchester, 10mm Auto, 12 Gauge, .22 LR, .223 Remington/5.56 NATO, and 9mm Luger, detailing their specific use cases and current market availability challenges.

This video discusses an impending, potentially historic ammunition shortage driven by a global gunpowder scarcity. The speaker, citing information from a major ammunition manufacturer, advises viewers to stock up on essential calibers like 9mm, .22 LR, .380 ACP, and .45 ACP. While cautioning against hoarding, the emphasis is on ensuring personal readiness for self-defense and recreational shooting.

This video provides a detailed comparison of Buffalo Bore and Grizzly 10mm Auto 180-grain ammunition through ballistic gel testing. The instructor, with clear expertise in firearms and ballistics, demonstrates a rigorous testing protocol using a chronograph and gel blocks with clothing barriers. The results highlight the exceptional performance of both brands, with Buffalo Bore slightly edging out Grizzly in retained weight and overall expansion, though both offer superior 10mm performance.

This video forecasts periodic ammunition shortages for seven popular calibers starting in 2026, driven by increased gun sales and potential civil unrest. The speaker, identified as knowledgeable in firearms and ammunition trends, details the reasons behind the anticipated scarcity for calibers like 9mm, 5.56/.223, 22 LR, 45 ACP, 380 ACP, 10mm Auto, and 6.5 Creedmoor, emphasizing that popular calibers are most affected.

This video from God Family and Guns, featuring an experienced speaker, discusses the evolving landscape of popular handgun calibers in America. It highlights a shift away from 9mm towards more powerful options like 10mm Auto and the high-velocity 5.7x28mm, driven by increased firearm availability and a demand for greater stopping power. The expert analysis provides technical specifications and market trend insights for consumers considering their next firearm or ammunition purchase.
