- Thanks to Alexey S. for supplying the .44 Magnum ammo. Ballistic test between the .44 Special and .44 Magnum in my 4.25" S&W model 69 with the Buffalo Bore 200 gr Wadcutter loaded in both the .44 Special and .44 Magnum cartridges. Always appreciative of any channel help :) www.patreon.com/user?u=5828221

For all the people that want to protect against bears ... this 44 special would do the trick on a bears skull !
I am really starting to like 44 special and. 45 colt as revolver rounds. I never would have gave them a 2nd look before but I could definitely see getting a revolver in either caliber.
I used to be all about .357's and .38's like a lot for commonality reasons at the time and buying the myths that .44's were super power house butt whoopers and .45 Colt's were just cowboy guns. Then I got older and realized both were untrue. I went the route of .45 Colt for versatility reasons. Instead of loading .44 Special, just download .45 Colt to "modern" safe pressure levels or to cowboy load levels and results are similar with similar bullet types.
Load heavy and they are pretty close still with the .44 often winning there in the end for overall performance but for most hunting purposes, there's rarely a need to go that hot anyways. But that was my reasoning behind it. Lately with the ammo situation I've seen more .45 Colt than .44 Magnum or Special, from a reloading perspective I've seen more brass for .45 Colt as well. Not to mention you can find Triple Seven powder to load it all day long everywhere I look. Primers are the toughest element to find as bullets can be cast for both it's not a big deal so long as you got the dies and etc.
But no question both are very versatile performers.
the hard cast wad cutter is a wonderful defense load. NYPD detective John cerilo proved that surviving 21 gunfights I'm told.he preferred the wadcutter over hollow points for pure bone busting to get through the vitals. even a lot of companies including buffalo bore makes medium to heavy weight flat face dangerous game ammunition. I have reloaded hollow base soft cast wad cutters backwards but never achieved the accurate loads I wanted. but now the thought of hardcast hbwc is stirring my reloading juices. papa enjoyed the video
I love Buffalo Bore ammo!
Geez i would have never expected that much damage out of a wadcutter
Just finished filming a video of my own, sign on to edit it, see in my notifications that Gun Sam is doing a comparison shoot of revolver rounds - my priorities for the evening have changed!
I watch all your vids too. 98% of channels i'm subscribed to sit and talk, in every video. I like how you get out there too and shoot!
Being in a big city my 4” 29-2 is always stoked with 6 of those specials, nothing but.
7:03 is why I invested in a rubber cage and outer lens on my camera. Came into play for once lol.
And our damage is exactly in the space of a GoPro 😂👍🏻
😆😳
very cool i love the old wadcutters wish i could get a bunch in 38 special just for cheap plinking or a self defense ammo
@@joemorganeatmyshortschannel if you can’t find the old Speer HBWC as components, you might consider casting. It is kind if fun.
@@lanedexter6303 i would but reloading stuff all gone so its a later thing
When I lived back East, I loaded a 180 gr. wadcutter in .44 mag brass, over 10 gr. of Unique, (around 1000fps) that load was devastating on wood chucks.
I didn't even think they made these rounds. Makes me think of the 44 special differently. Thanks for the video Sam!
44 special and 44 magnum makes my Friday! Yeah!
The penetration by either flat face slug is very good for a self defense load. Even those wearing body armor would have some 'wind' knocked out of them being hit with 400-600 + foot pounds of energy. That kind of impact is almost akin to that of a sledgehammer. If I'm overstating, I'll welcome a correction by those better versed in impact (terminal) ballistics. Great presentation Sam.
reloading over 42 years and can’t remember how much or many calibers, much experiment ing it’s been a blast . i think your right about the beastly creatures and flat wad cutters.but only self defense against mr bear. I look at a pistol or revolver as a short barreled, short stocked, under powered rifle and to reguarded as that, used in bear hunting as a secondary weapon. it’s a foolish man to go hunting grizzly with even a 500 mag when there are far better choices in rifles . I would use a Alaskan rig and 3-4 inch 44 magnum or above for at camp toating fire wood , walking around, skinning deer having to lay rifle down and a bear slips up on you the pistol is right there and if time allows you can easily reach and get it and out in z moment. I might not get but one shot and I would shoot for the nose to get to neck bone, spine, neck bones, brain stem. that’s my thought on the matter . Nana and papa aka the hunter wishing you well.
Your question is a complex one w/ so many variables that it is hard to say. It really is an apples to oranges comparison as the two "projectiles" have different wounding characteristics. The biggest "X" factor is the hammer has a man behind it who can continue to apply force after initial impact. The mass of who or what is being hit is a big factor as well as the hammer is so slow and heavy that the impact would (potentially) begin moving the target before the swing was completed (depending on the mass of the target and speed of the swing) thereby dissipating some of the energy. Body armor is rated for blunt force trauma though and can be defeated by it without actually punching through the armor. However, it takes a significant amount of energy to actually kill with that - think 12gauge slug lever. But yeah, 600 foot pounds of energy would hurt and probably put a man down just not kill him if he was armored.
Love it when the bologna pack explodes
Make sure you check out his mono metal 44 mag dangerous game episode HUGE bologna pack devastation 😱🤯🤠
Nice, still saving to buy myself a S&W in 44Mag ..
Get a Henry in 44 mag!
@@FollowJesus63 I really like my Ruger M 77/44 bolt action , super accurate with slow lead bullets , same as their handguns . For hunting , you really only need ONE bullet . I hope Ruger will put the same fast twist on the new Marlins .. or Rumlins ??
Save a little less and get yourself a Ruger Redhawk. Smith won’t handle Buffalo Bore .44M +P+, but Ruger will. It has to do with cylinder design, and you can find it on Buffalo Bore’s website.
@@philkearny5587 , yeah thanks, I was looking at the Ruger too, might be an option ..can the Ruger also shoot 44Spl ?
The specials really are.
Love the hybrid testing! I find your bologna gives a much better experience of the power of these two loads than just another gel test. Keep up the great work!
Another good show. Enjoyed it.
Great job! I love all the TECH you use now, takes the reviews to a whole new level.
Thank you.
Awesome video. Glad I subscribed. I'm a revolver fan & .44 Special owner & this is much appreciated.
I love the fact that your testing is done with the same gun as mine, bought mine on a bit of an impulse due to it being used and fell in love with it. Too many people do ammo tests with far larger guns and don't give the model 69 fair credit. Was given flack for carrying a 5 shot wheel gun till they all fired it compared to the nines and 45s everybody else has. Add that to the fact it's accurate and fairly easy to carry, nobody giggles at my old man gun anymore.
Very cool test! Always wondered about these 2 loads. Surprised by the gel test between the 2 loads. Very similar. Great video!
Thanks
Glad I found this video! I missed this one somehow!?! I’ve been carrying the Buffalo Bore 44spl hardcast In my Charter arms “On duty” Bulldog and it’s nice to see it tested. Thanx! 👍🏻
Great test. I was waiting for this one too
Thanks for watching!
Those 44 Magnums are The Beast, on average.
This was a great test .. All the years i have fired a .44 mag i have never loaded full wad cutter bullets in it .
I have for years now fired 148 grain full wad cutters in my .357 mags , just last year i started loading 155 grain full wad cutters and am very pleased with the results ..
Like what you experienced , compared to SWC , HP, SP , RN i have found the POI is off around 1" with the full wad cutters .. The shock would be a lot with the size of the Meplat size of the bullets nose..
When i'm in bear country i carry my .44 mag loaded with 310 grain True Shot bullets by Oregon Trail Bullets which are gas checked ,that bullet has a huge Meplat ..It like launching a plow through the air , damage it does .. As always a good video ..
Great test!
After watching your great videos, I decided to order full Wadcutter bullets for my .44 mag. 200 grain weight was my choice..
All the years I've owned and shot a .44 mag I've never fired Wadcutter bullet through my S&W 629.. My bullet of choice is the Keith design 255 grain SWC... plus I carry 310 grain bullet load in bear
country.. Time to shoot full Wadcutter bullets..
Great information, thanks for this one..
Brother Sam / THIS was one of my Favorite videos that you have done. Because I purchased 3 revolvers last month that shoot these. A Charter Arms Bulldog/external hammer, a New S&W Combat model 69, and the gun I was hunting for, The Alaskan, by Ruger, in 44 Magnum. For those interested, Ohio show price was $1,375. and then another Ohio show it was $1,200. thanx for great , in depth videos
Thank you.
Great Video, Sam!
Years ago I was at the range with wadcutters, SWC and roundnose. I expected elevation differences where they hit. But I also saw a windage difference.
Looks like both would be a good woods carry ammo for both two legged and four legged threats. Maybe a little more penetration that I would be comfortable with in a crowded urban environment though.
Got my ruger super redhawk 44 magnum 2 weeks ago.yesterday got my 340+P+ buffalobore...yay...
KingJesus
That’s got to be worse than the 305 grizzly load out of a super Blackhawk.
Some really powerful ammo.....thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching.
After watching this video 44 special was pretty decent I believe it when you said that it can handle almost anything I like the ballistic gel your test are pretty good and accurate I like it alot ......
keep with Jesus Christ
Outstanding video, thanks!!
Thanks for proving my point once again. The .44 mag is still the King of hand cannons. In my opinion of course. Look at that devastation and you still can make accurate follow up shots. I swear that baloney pack was a red mist... Great visual, thanks.
Flat front punch. Pow! ✊🏻👊🏻👌🏻
Special ammo for sure. Great testing and shooting. Excellent results. Worth having in your ammo collection. ♠️☯️🎩
Thanks. My buffalo bore box collection is getting out of control. Two stacks of it probably 4 feet tall each.
@@GunSam good collection to have.
I would like a box of that to just put on shelf and look at it.
I had just picked up a couple boxes of that stuff a few weeks ago. 👍🏻😁 the 44special that is.
Ditto.
666 FLBs of energy!?! 😱 44mag is the DEVIL!!!
Always a good and interesting video. Everything but the gel seemed to showed the .44 Mag hits harder. Take care.
Thank you.
Interesting. Good info. Thank you
I predict big holes and very violent transfer of energy.
10:34 SWEET side by side comparison of the rate of fire achieved with each type!
Thanks!
I just started the video & Know this will be Good !! That's got to hurt !
Took a perfect punch out of my gong strap.
Results from 45 colt 240 gr W C , from Matts Bullets , med hard cast > In a line of jugs , rather than the 1st bow up & the 2nt & 3 rd not so much . The first 2 blew up nearly the same ( like the first jug in common GOOD ammo ) the next 2 still got a good jolt .
I love big bore wadcutters. I have molds in 44 and 45 colt and I'm pondering the idea of one one 475 Linebaugh. The way they hit is all out of proportion to their weight and they make really cool hole in paper. I'm glad you did the video as I really am close to buying a Smith 69. Thanks for a great video and ad always you make learning fun
Interesting! Good options for crazy places like New Jersey where hollow points are outlawed. You might carry a hatchet and split out the bullets when you do the wood test. Makes me want to dig out my 116 grain .44 wadcutter mold and see if I can stack two into a case.😀
Lee has long discontinued their button nose 117 gr .44 WC, but my '70s single cav mold still makes good bullets. I've been stacking two of those in Mag brass for decades, and it makes a great bet-winning load. Run a pair of those out at 1200 f/s and it's the equivalent of two pre-expanded 9mms at once.
Love it! Sounds like a fun load.👍
@@lanedexter6303 That little boolit also makes a great plinker load. Way miserly on alloy & powder. I used it back in the '70s to learn point shooting in a big patch of prickly pear. Instant splatty feedback.
@@edbecka233 Sounds simpler than a “plinker” I tried years ago when .44 special brass was costly: ran a 45 ACP case all the way into a 44 special size die (can’t use shell holder, have to drive it in until the rim hits the die, then drive it out with a dowel). Ran a .440 round ball through a .430 size die. Seated the “belted” ball into my new cheap short 44 case over about 2.5 grains Bullseye. About like shooting a 22.😉
The more I watch your videos, the more I like your 44 Special content and miss my old Charter Arms Bulldog. I think I need another 44 revolver. Is there any interest in testing some slower-moving soft lead semi-wadcutter loads?
The Bulldog is my carry, I use Underwood 200gr Wadcutter that is their "Bulldog load" I find it to be accurate and manageable recoil, yet a heavy hitter. I believe 44 Spl. is much overlooked.
Been looking into S&W M69 or a Taurus Tracker in .44 mag for a daily carry. Stoked with a 200g .44 special SWC will take the fight out of anything encountered here in the central part of my state, two or four legged.
Sounds like a good plan. This model 69 does not handle recoil well at all. It carries great, same as my 686, but you would be right in picking .44 Special ammo.
Just picked up a model 29 yesterday with a 6.5” barrel. I haven’t fired it yet but I’m hoping I can handle the magnums in that big gun and don’t have to step down to specials. Of course this video proves specials will still get the job done
Get a Houge Grip.Thank Me Later.😊
Thanks.
Another great video. Try the 44mag 305g hardcast +p, out of a 3 inch barrel! It will knock your socks off! Especially one handed! I've never had a problem with BuffaloBore in 15 or so years of buying from them until this month. April 2021. I've sent two Emails and 3 phone calls no reply! Two boxes of 380 lead free loaded with the Barns Bullet were too long to fit in chamber and magazines of both my 380 guns. Not knocking them but just a heads up to people. I'm sure they'll get around to me soon, but hey it's been 6 days. DB
Thank you.
Great comparison. Both packs a punch or lower 48 especially here in the east. Definitely say 44 mag had more punch. But 44spl load u Definitely stay on target better able make fast fallow up shots.
I completely agree. I’d rather know all 5 shots are where I aimed them fast and swiftly in any situation. .44special is more and more obvious to be the go to round as a large bore. It’s gonna do everything you ever really need. I just don’t know why so many want to discredit the .44 special as just a plinking round. If I had only one shot and I knew I wouldn’t miss at all, I’d go with that Buffalo Wadcutter every dang time!
As Mr. Quinn said Buffalo Bore don't short you on powder none!
Funny you should do this exact video exactly right now LOL,,,I just got done watching a few videos on ballistics tests using the Speer gold dot 200 grain, the bullet they use in either the Speer factory loaded 44 special loading doing about 950 or right close to there FPS,,, and they also load it or used to anyhow because if I heard it correctly they dropped that loading from their offerings,,,,but anyhow it seems from the testing done by a few guys (the main one was Loads fo Bacon) that bullet does by their testing anyhow real good at a range of 900 to no more than 1100 (however even at 1100 it started to fragment a bit more than i like to see),,,,,,so as per what loads of bacon found to be about the best was 10 grains of Unique gave right at 1050 or just a tad less FPS, That seems to be the sweet spot velocity wise for that bullet it expands very well to almost .750 or 3 quarters of an inch diameter (most of the six he fired into the gel were in the nieghborhood of .600 and pretty much all the same)and went 14 to 15 inches for a six round string into balistic gel ,,,,so I'm gonna load up some exactly at that and I am also going to load up some at about the same or should be same velocity with some Titegroup and Hodgdon universal powders just to see if some other powder options cane exactly equal it just for options sake,,,,should make a much easier on the shooter carry load than what I currently have around right now,,,my hands are as I'm now 55 are not what they used to be and are sufering from a life of hard use (LOL) so I'm needing to look for a less abusive carry load for my shorter barreled guns (like my 2.750 model 69 or a couple of my sub 3 inch model 629's and even my 329pd can make good use of some lighter loadings) anyhow my lightest loading I currently have for the 44's (not including some plinking loads,,,,my carry loads wise) is still doing 1200 fps+ (a couple of my loadings are still cranking along right at 1400 FPS from those short barrels) from the shorter barrels with a 200 grain bullet (either the Nosler or XTP or Sierra bullets pushed by a big old charge of 28 or 28.5 grains of H110 has a habit of coming back at you HARD),,,,,,so I have had a few hundred or close to a thousand of those 200 grain gold dots laying around for a few years now so it's high time to use some of them (been meaning to do this for a couple or more years now),,,,anyhow I like what Buffalo Bore did with those wad cutters,,,,that would make a good round for personal deffense without any dought in the 44 special loading as well like you say being rather good also against larger 4 legged nasties in the woods,,,and you could step it up a tad by throwing some of the 44 magnum loadings in if you need a bit more for in the woods and not be stupidly over powered for 2 leeged vermin,,,,I'm sure the bullets Buffalo Bore uses in that loading is the ones that Rimrock bullets makes,,,I was just on Rimrocks sight and they have them available but with a wait of 6 to 8 weeks, they must make them at order time right now, or they just are that backlogged due to the current state of things, because I've order lots from them in the past and if it says available they usually get them to you really quick,,,anyhow I might just have to order some of those from them, they aren't bad priced either at $61 per 500 so I might just put in an order for a thousand or so to play around and expreiment with,,,they should be able to run about the same powder charges as for the 200 grain gold dots or real close to it and get just about the same velocities as the Buffalo Bore 44 special loading but in the magnum case,,, or maybe just slightly warmer and split the difference in velocity between the special and the magnum loading and come in right at say 1100 FPS might just be a real sweet spot for that wad cutter bullet (tad more than the special loading but just enough less than the magnum loading to be a bit easier shooting????? I think I need to play with that one a bit))),,, anyhow after all the years i played around with all this i thought i was done LOL,,,guess when it's in your blood you never get done playing with it,,,anyhow as always thanks for the videos Sam take care.
Honestly, If I were going to be carrying a .44 Mag for bear defense, this would NOT be my choice of revolver. A bigger, heavier gun (S&W N-frame, Ruger Redhawk, etc.) helps tame that recoil for quicker follow-ups, AND offers one extra round in the cylinder. And against a charging bear, that one extra round means a lot more than you might think.
Nice..really appreciate your "hybrid" ballistic test..tired of seeing plain Gel... A suggestion for shooting fast with Magnum revolvers...a "hammer" grip with the right thumb down and wrapped over with the left thumb... The gun won't shift in your hand near as much as with the semi-auto thumbs forward position...
100% on the Hybrid !!! Great Idea !! if I go all out single action .. my left thumb is in the breeze looking for the next go at the hammer ... full semi auto !!
At this point, I'd say, whatever you can find since they perform so similarly. Ammunition prices and availability is ridiculous, and I know not one shooter is unaware of that.
Awesome!
Thanks a lot!
Great test once again, Whats the fastest 240 jhp 44 mag ammo you have tested ? what numbers you got out of that 4 inch barrel? 1250?
Thanks. The only 240 gr JHP I have tested Federal Hydrashok, Buffalo Bore lower recoil and Hornady Custom. The Hydrashok was 1,165 AVG, the Hornady Custom was 1,252 FPS and the Buffalo Bore was 1,260 FPS. The Buffalo Bore video actually is not released yet, but it uses the same 240 gr XTP as the Custom.
@@GunSam 240 at 1260 out of a 4 inch = insane power for a handgun...
Very nice. Was hoping you would test these. The Special seems like it would be excellent for animal defense, probably up to and including black bears (who are reputedly not a big problem anyway). For true self-defense, i wonder if a softer bullet (say BHN of 10 or so?) would give significant expansion. You want some penetration of course, but 23" is too much against a biped, i should think. Any bullet casters out there want to make up some handloads? I like the hybrid test- it seems very logical- muscle, bone, and fluid tissue. The Magnum use is probably more limited, but it should be good for intentional hunting or grizzly defense. Let's hear it for Buffalo Bore.
@1:41 Did you say Corona-graph? That was a sick pun. LOL, I'm not even a real dad.
No. Simply said chronograph.
Would love to see you take on the 44 Russian. I have looked at hand loading data for it and it seems to be not that far behind the 44 special. It could fill a similar niche to your work with the 38 Colt.
I have tested 246 gr, or maybe this specific load was 247 gr, of a LRN .44 Russian. Was pretty much identical velocity to 246 gr .44 Special ammo. ruclips.net/video/TUcsa5xbhz4/видео.html
@@GunSam Cool. Thanks for the link. Your channel is a treasure trove.
I bet some really nice SWC, or LRFN loads could be made up at around 850fps.
Sam, Could you do a review on your thoughts, likes, dislikes, of that revolver? I thought I was done with 44 but thst particular L frame has me kinda twisting.
ruclips.net/video/A1AEmOC5oY4/видео.html
I am wondering what Rim Rock 270 grn SWC in 45 Colt would do on gel.
Can you do a video on the Underwood .44 Special 200 gr Hard Cast Wadcutter? It's cheaper than the Buffalo Bore and I'm curious if the performance is the same
If I ever get any of ammunition I have a good idea what to expect .👍 The down side is it would only work good one of my revolvers. 🤷♂️
I would have liked the test to be the same as your others (no water jug or place the jug last to catch the bullet). That way we can compare to other cartridges.
I have a 180 grain wadcutter mold in 44, I hope to get a 250 grain wadcutter mold.
Think you might be handier with the N-frame in a 5 or 6" barrel with the magnum?
I used to have the 629 6". I don't recall there being much of a difference in recoil or muzzle control.
@@GunSam Okay, interesting.
Icant find 44 spec in my country. Finde it is sience fiction here in Croatia. Its hard to find 44mag amo to. Tray 44 mag from Sellier&bellot, or Prvi partizan (wolf) if you can find it.That amo is Al you can get here, maybe some cci blazer or hornady👍
Europe never was too much into revolvers.
My edc is a S&W THUNDER RANCH .44SPL. MY HANDLOADS ARE 240 SWC AT 850 FPS. GOOD ENOUGH. 😊
How about Buffalo Bore 44 magnum 265 grain Dangerous Game Lehigh Defense flat point solid copper loading versus the Buffalo Bore 44 magnum 265 hardcast gas-check flat meplat bullet loading.
Could you please do the same Test with the .38 Spec./ .357 Magnum Cartridge ?
There is no .357 Mag of this. There is a .38 Special and I did a snub nose test but not in the gel block. ruclips.net/video/lVaggcm4Egk/видео.html
@@GunSam Tx alot
I'm not sure how I missed this one. It looks like elasticity of bologna is not good. I also kind of want a 329 now.
As much as I like your M69 ( I was thinking of buying one at one time ) I don't think people that fear bear attack would pick that Model . Too many other better choices . For MOST in the US that don't have bears , 44 Special in a M69 S&W is far better choice , than a Ruger Super Redhawk in 480 , 454 , 44 , 10mm .
It was surprising that ballistic gel is heavier than a tripod
so many people are getting old /etc and are fearful of wrist injury----> somebody should start offering low energy 44 specials/ inexpensive clean burn lower noise
How dirty was that Smith when you got done? I'm a real fan of Buffalo Bore and lead wadcutters in general, but they're cruddy things to shoot.
I honestly do not remember it being dirty at all. It is hard cast which shoots pretty clean.
@@GunSamSorry, I forgot they were hard casts when I commented. That's another good point in their favor.
I figured out #3 things when searching for the ultimate woods pistol. #1 Ammo and gun costs are supreme. And what you get for your money is 44 mag. # 2 finding ammo anywhere anytime is very important. 22 L.R. 38 special and 44 mag is what can be found anywhere , even Tom's hardware. #3 If a 44 mag won't kill it , you best leave it alone. 44 mag is the best go anywhere ,anytime , and survive pistol , barr none. The 44 mag is a one and done gun. And it costs the same as most any other gun as well as ammo . Simple.
A little more than pew pew pew. 😉
i getting the model 69 for the 44 special and in case the shit hit the fan i will carry a load of 44 mag i will never buy a 9mm i hate them as much as the 5.56 round
I know you do not want to get your model 69 Mag-na-port treated but your grip was broken by recoil and that is why you should do so. Jerry Michelick (spelling?) says Mag-na-port is like cheating. Everything else on that model 69 is top of the line. Maybe an action job and fixed overtravel trigger stop...
I just would rather use different ammo than mess with modifying the gun.
@@GunSam agreed. I was only supplying another perspective. I have a master's in Art so my perspective is based on refinement and performance.
@@jeffreylocke8808 I had a Dan Wesson 44 8" it came with 2 barrels , one vented & 1 solid , You can't shoot lead out of the vented barrel . I use both lead & JHP , every time I change the barrel , I would need to sight in . Bottom line , even with full power ammo , I couldn't really tell the difference , it was big & heavy & very accurate . I just left the solid barrel in all the time .
On a carry gun you may need to shoot with NO EAR Pro , I would not want any kind of porting .. same for a hunting rifle .
@@danoneill2846 that was a Dan Wesson with vents all around the entire circumference of the barrel. Mag-na-port is only on the top of the barrel. And my 5 inch muzzlebrake equipped barrel X-frame 460 S&W magnum revolver has a muzzlebrake just for cast bullet use but works just well with jacketed bullets. I wear ear protection muffs that electronically suppress loud noises but brings up normal or softer sounds.
Fairly light ammo for buffalo bore
Kill vs over kill
Once in awhile, overkill is needed.
Rad
1200 FPS seems light f a 44 mag.
4:52 ".44 Mag = 666" - That fits.
Next video 9mm rivals 44 special...😆
Nah, cause it never will.
9:16 if you are shooting a brown bear you should not be using these loads. Buffalo Bore makes a 340gr hard cast +P+ that moves at over 1400fps which I would deem more appropriate for a bear. These rounds are intended more for self defense against two legged threats
While better rounds exist for bear, I wouldn't go to +P+ myself. It's more about bullet weight and design than sheer energy. A .44 Special 255 gr Keith goes through 2 gel blocks like it's nothing. The standard pressure .44 Mag with that same 255 gr bullet goes through even more. I recently tested it about 4 videos back if you go to my channel and look for recent videos.
@@GunSam got it ill take a look! Thanks for doing videos like these. Not everybody has the space to go outside and shoot at ballistics so you are doing us all a service!
👍✌️😃🇺🇸
I say rounds wont go through all fell. Water hard when hit fast.
Gell
@10:33 well isn't that Special !
Today we are doing a ballistic gel test with a civil war cannon..... yep, over penetration, 7 yards gel penetration.
send a link if you are.
@@GunSam I wish I had the cannon and the land to test it. If someday I’m rich enough, I will gladly destroy your gel test box with my cannon.
Doesn't the 69 have adjustable sights
Of course. Why?
Lack of accuracy cuz ur shooting soup can projectiles 😆
I think the balona is pretty ridiculous ! It throws off the testing capability of the ballistic gel!
I Used it like twice with the gel. Chill
