Testing and review channel for ammo and accessories. Currently looking for and testing some of the lowest cost (aka cheapest) options available in the marketplace to compare against known, but much more expensive, competitors. All videos are for entertainment purposes. We are not advocating for or against, nor sponsored by, any items discussed in the videos. Please do not try this at home.
Tests conducted to date have been with either water testing typically in gallon or 2-litre bottles or using homemade ballistic gel. The gel is mixed at a 9-1 ratio water to mix by weight using a 250 bloom pork skin gelatin. It is stored, transported and shot cold. Recently purchased bb gun to calibrate. Also recently got a Clear Ballistics block to compare against. I test with a heavy clothing, not full denim, barrier of 1 layer of denim 1 layer of fleece.and 2 cotton t-shirt layers to simulate more realistic clothing. I hope you find the testing, comparisons and data provided interesting

38 Special testing: Fort Scott Munitions TUI vs Norma NXD vs Golden Saber
Comparison testing of the 80 grain standard pressure Fort Scott Munitions TUI round versus the 80 grain standard pressure Norma NXD both through the 3" Taurus 605. Added the 125 grain +p Remington Golden Saber as a control to show a previous solid performer alongside these rounds. Do these non-expanding defensive rounds perform in this caliber? That's the real question here.

9mm Federal Syntech Defense short barrel test
Haven't watched the previous cheap 9mm test video but I think for an almost always available and cheaper 9mm the Winchester white now black box(9mmjhp2) 147 JHP is hard to beat
how much are they a box?
1) Ballistic gel is inferior and overrated as an apparatus for measuring terminal ballistics. Use the meat target test as an analog for the human body and more accurate hollow point expansion. 2) You're breathing heavy merely for measuring the "wound" channel of the gel. You need to work on your cardio.
That’s very solid speeds from a g27. I have a few boxes of 180 grizzly 40sw that advertise using an xtp. They had a 5 round average of 1163 out of my xd 4.5. So they definitely load the bullets right because these are some spicy rounds. Probably just some crappy cheap jhp they bought in bulk during the pandemic. Excellent video!
Punch did really well.
Aguila has some pretty hot ammo
Using an LCP as a backup pistol I'm thinking 3 yards to bad breath distance. Flat nose fmj seems to be what some people are recommending. the punch round is on the list now. Underwood XD, ARX. We will see as I only use this as a backup.good video job well done sir
I would like to see you carry your 6 inch revolver in your pants pocket in your jacket pocket or even an inside the waistband holster. Six is good for hunting and for protection inside your house. Most of the time if you’re gonna have to defend yourself. You’re gonna use a snuby or 3 inch at most. I know you did the test with the guns that you have what you’re using defensive ammo. Good trial.
I buy the lighter grain ammo, due to the fact I have post traumatic & surgical injuries. I shoot better with it (Less recoil). Norma makes a 65 grain 9mm. I would at least try if you have the same injuries that I do. God bless, take care. Pray we never need these other than pratice.
Too many tracks in the gelatin. That makes the gelatin softer and easier to penetrate. Therefore, your test is mute.
380 hollow point are horrible expanding. I use hornady critical defense to avoid the hollow cavity to clog. I’ve seen all types of 380 hollow point ammo test. None of these expand reliably, don’t waste ur money buying fancy light weigh hollow point. Just get Hornady Critical Defense for reliable expansion. No ither 380 ammo expand when going thru clothes.
380 won’t expand. Please fellas if u want reliable expansion u have to use Hornady Critical Defense. The rubber plug allows the bullet to expand and avoids clogged hollow cavity.
Appreciate the data. The Remmy Golden Sabers are right there with HSTs and Gold Dots, for my needs. Think I'll pass on the NXDs and TUIs
"As you can see, it did really good swirling damage up in here..." No, I can't see... your gel is over used and dirty. Get new gel.
Good video but I go to LUCKY GUNNER for all the ballistic tests for any caliber and any bullet you got.
I carry remmington 125gr htp +p in my edc,but been having trouble finding 125gr ammo to practice with...😮...frustrating... I dont want to just run plus p thru my gun more than i have to,so would be nice to find the exact or close to it to oractice with!! L8tly all i can find local for target shooting is the 50rd fmjfn magtech...and the 158gr...but ill keep looking😊. Great vid love the series
These are my number 2 edc rounds as of now. They do work well out of my charter arms undercover. Still have not found something to beat the remmington htp yet....still looking though😊 Great vid
That 125gr +p winchester personal protection ( white box) is awsome out of my charter arms undercover!!! I run them and remmington 125gr htp +p as my edc loads. Sometimes i throw in a plus p lswchp too😊 Love the vids Been looki g for these
See i get shit performance from these in my charter arms undercover...i mean even in plus p they do not do good at all! Have heard they do well in 357 and outta rifle...but i wouldn't use them as my edc round unless i had too 😮
I use the old 125gr remmington htp( green and gold box) + p and the winchester 125gr personal protection (white box) and 158gr lswchp in my charter arms undercover edc...i inherited it from my great grandfather and it was his backup duty weapon for almost 24years before that. ...ive always feltclike he would bot have left me that gun specifically, knowing id be carrying it, unless he trusted it....or secretly hated me😂😂😂 lol...but i doubt that. I have other tools,but that one checks the most boxes for my for about 85% of the time! Love the videos😊 Thank u
New sub. I been looking for a channel with good 38special test. So far only found 1 other. Thanks
Where can you find a 50rd box of that civil defense
FBI protocol lol the same fbi that can't make up their minds on what caliber is best guess what fbi you don't have to pick just one firearms are tools and you need the right tool for the job.
Somehow i missed this when you first posted this video. Probably the most extensive test I've seen of this projectile! Thank you for that! In your videos, others videos, and my own Clear Ballistics Gel tests, it is apparent this projectile meets the FBI minimum standard most of the time. In the cases it doesn't, (i.e. the projectile doesn't expand well or at all) it still does decent damage and does not overpenetrate. For a .380 projectile, I think it's in the top three Hollow Point options available.
...just watching you open this box made it worth the watch...I foound ONE box of this the other day at the show in Vero Beach, FL...paid 35 bux...
Your 605 is a 357, so no, you wouldn't be worried about it
Like Buffalo Bore
The recoil & muzzle blast were the most ever, in 38 +p, I've ever shot. Those specs, if accurate, are 357 specs. I'm not gonna blow my gun up, just because. I'll use em in my GP-100 6 inch
Great testing.👍
Not bad for dirt cheap ammo. Edit: For the price, I'd stockpile it and use it at the range.
I carry the 110 Hornady critical defense round in my 38cal and it does a great job
How do you know. Ever shoot a live target.
Nice Job
Punch did great here and in Gun Sam's from longer EZ looks good to me
Nice job. Do you have 44 Magnum? If so let's see what the Barnes in 44 Magnum does
Glad I watched this because I just ordered a box of 20. My Charter has a 3-inch barrel.
They loaded this ammo way too hot for that projectile. They are not supposed to fragment like that.
The IQ must be real low.
FYI folks, holes still hurt. Blood can leak out of a small hole just as easy as a big one. Either way it’s going to hurt.
Bummer the the round didn't open-up ... I was hoping the Fiocchi 380 would be a good carry round for my soon to arrive S&W Bodyguard 2.0
Looks to be a good carry round for my soon to arrive S&W Bodyguard 2.0 (short barrel)
That's my favorite carry round.
So basically the Federal Punch and these performed the same...
I think the HST did just fine you don't want it go through everything like the T-series seem to. I'll stick with HST it does all need it. it goes in deep enough for any that it needs to be use on. VOTE TRUMP 2024 AND VOTE EARLY
Good review 👍
Seems like many rounds that are failures in a 2” perform properly in a 3”. Time for me to trade?
So the sinter fire is not over penetrating?
Why did they stop making the 147 +p? It was the best performing 9mm round out there.
Unfortunately not good enough for winter carry. If someone is layered up, hoody, jacket, shirt ect, no way that round is making anywhere near 12 inches.
Lead is hard cast . Not moving fast enough. Buffalo Bore is soft lead. Work great. Both rounds are good general propose rounds.
I prefer Magtech JHP over Sellier and Bellot, Blazer or Federal, all of them are hotter. I brought my 380's for less recoil and the "ligher" Magtech round provides for even less recoil in my 380, even in my snappy Bodyguard. Who cares if it doesn't expand and is not hotter, light recoil means I get all shots on target. Most 380's except for my Security-380 and P365 380 are going to be about 7 rounds. I'm super confident, I can get all bullets center mass, if that doesn't stop someone, then I'm meant to get got. People trip me out talking about penetration, most any CCW self defense situations are going to be close range. Magtech is cheap, so you can train with it and be more proficient at shooting.
