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
I don't waste my time with fancy 380 ammo. Plan cheap fmj works just fine. Some Militaries and police used fmj 380 into the 90's before switching to higher calibers.
Their is a severe difference in cost. Copper bullets that have to be cut on a C&C machine are much more expensive than a bullet that is made through injection molding polymer and copper particles. Great test.
"Budget friendly." Hahahahaha!! Thank you for the test. Very good. I just picked up one of theses Rossi RP63-3" revolvers so I appreciate this. Academy has them for $39.99 and as mentioned in the video these can be found cheaper on line but, not by very much. I do have a few boxes from when they were $22 a box at Wal Mart before the panic insanity began. I know, I know, that was then and this now. Lol.
tools used a ported 4in barrel and sam used a standard 4 in barrel ... i think the ported barrel is more like the 3inc maybe .. I get closer to your numbers with my 686+ consistently with this ammo... and it is easier shooting than the Remmington 125 gr 357 which i constantly get 1350 + /- in my 686+. thanks for the video
They are a brass case and nickel plated the 147gr HST is one of my favorite rounds I like the Winchester T series I never tried the Winchester one's they look like the Winchester USA ready witch are good but they have a red insert. I like all Winchester ammo the old red and white box is still one of the best budget ammos on the market and the NATOs are +p FMJ ball ammo and some of the best target and plinking ammo money can buy
I’ve had the older model LCP for over 10 years & hundreds of trouble free rounds of FMJ & HP. It’s a perfect always-gun, especially in warm weather or when I have to wear thin dress slacks.
Im a diehard HST fan boy. Its a no brainer for me .over engendered maybe but i trust it to feed and go bang every time .i like that the primer and bullet have a sealant to protect cartridge integrity. Its worth the extra money to me for the extra trust i feel .thanks for the video.
I ended up buying 10 boxes of Defender Ammo's 380acp ammo thanks to your testing! So hopefully that should help both of you. Thanks again for helping all of us on a budget, get the best ammo we can. I recently purchased a new Girsan MC14T, a remake of the Beretta #86 tilting barrel 380 pistol. Its an updated aluminum doublestack mag frame, steel slide fixed barrel, blowback design, DA/SA pistol. The quality level is amazing. I'm not a huge Turkish gun fan but they are killing it lately with Girsan, Canik and Tisas all making great quality, older all metal guns at almost 1/2 the price of originals. Its a 4.5" fixed barrel. They have FDE, a black & grey color as well as blued in this model. I hope to chrono some rounds when I get time this year but it may be difficult as I may be moving. I also have the Ruger Security 3.42" barrel I think its length was. So I will compare if I can. Thanks again for all the great testing.
