HIGH Velocity VS HUGE Projectile? This will be INTERESTING š¤
This video compares the terminal ballistics of a high-velocity .22 caliber slug versus a larger, slower .30 caliber slug using a block of clay as a medium. The .22 caliber slug achieved significantly higher velocities (around 1200 fps) with a 21-grain H&N slug, causing fragmentation. The .30 caliber slug, fired at approximately 846 fps with a 49.5-grain projectile, exhibited significant mushrooming and less fragmentation, resulting in a wider but shallower wound channel. While the clay test results were comparable, the instructor suggests the higher velocity of the .22 caliber may induce more shock, while the larger .30 caliber projectile creates a larger wound. The video highlights the trade-offs between speed and projectile mass in terminal ballistics.
