I Shot Every 22 LR Into Ballistic Gel 

If you could only stock up on one 22 lr load, what would it be?

What this video would really need is a set of time stamps in the comments: Aguila super Colibri 0:15 CCi Quiet 0:34 CCi Quiet Segmented HP 0:54 Aguila Sniper Sub Sonic 60 gr 1:08 Federal Copper plated solid 1:56 Aguila Subsonic round lead Point 2:19 Fiocchi Range Dynamics Subsonic 2:29 Browning Sub 22 2:49 CCi Standard Velocity 3:03 CCi Pistol Match 3:13 CCi Clean 22 3:25 Federal Premium Target 3:51 Eley Target 4:10 Winchester Super Suppressed 4:28 Norma Tac 22 4:39 Aguila Standard Velocity 4:54 CCi Subsonic HP 5:20 CCi Subsonic HP Small game 5:40 Aguila Subsonic HP 6:13 Eley Subsonic Hollow 6:56 Remington Subsonic HP 7:14 Remington Subsonic Plated HP 7:31 Fiocchi Field Dynamics Subsonic HP 7:50 Red Tracer 8:09 Blazer HV 8:57 CCi Mini Mag Target 9:14 Federal HV Solid 9:40 American Eagle HV 10:01 Fiocchi Field Dynamics Copper plated round nose 10:26 Aguila Super Extra Copper plated round nose 10:45 Thunderbolt 11:01 Remington Golden Bullet Plated round nose 11:27 Winchester Target/Plinking 11:45 Winchester Super X 12:04 CCi Mini Mag Varmint HV Segmented HP 12:39 Armscor HV HP 12:56 Fiocchi Field Dynamics Copper plated HP 13:17 American Eagle HV Copper Plated HP 13:30 Federal Copper plated HP 13:50 CCi Mini Mag Varmint HV Copper plated HP 14:09 Remington Golden Bullet HV HP 14:25 Aguila Copper plated HV HP 14:46 Winchester Super X Copper plated Power Point (HV HP) 15:00 Herter's Plated HV HP 15:13 Shotshell Rat Shot 15:41 Remington VIPER 16:22 Aguila Interceptor 16:39 CCi Hyper Velocity poly coated lead Purple round nose 17:07 Federal Premium Punch Personal Defense 17:32 Aguila Super maximum Copper plated 17:54 Norma Eco Speed 18:15 Winchester Varmint HE 18:48 Winchester Super X Copper plated HP 19:09 Browning BPR HP 19:30 Aguila Interceptor HP 19:52 CCi Stinger Copper plated HP 20:09 Aguila Supermaximum HP 20:23 Emacs Tactical Blue Tip 20:39 Whew this surely took way more time to write down then I thought.

Q: Now what are you going to do with all these rounds? A: Accuracy test Might as well, already went through the trouble of getting them all. 5 rounds /15-20 yards rifle and pistol. Good thing 22 is fun to shoot.

Now I want .22 tracer ammo!

The banana cart, good to see a new member of the family. I'm sure steel sled is very welcoming

I can't tell you how many bricks of Thunderbolt I have shot over my lifetime, but it is definitely in the hundreds.

I have always liked Midway USA for many years now, and so much more now for sponsoring you. I don't buy much anymore having been retired for 10 years now.

Born in 1980, I can remember when I was in my early teens my dad taking me to Dicks Sporting Goods and you could get a brick of Remington Thunderbolts for $11.00 and when they were on sale they were $7.00. That was $7.00 for 500 rounds. That is basically one and a half cents per round.

got a Marlin 60, bought it at Kmart circa 1979 when I was 14. Definitely shot over 8,000 rounds through it, yet it still runs true and the rifling looks brand new. Guess because it's only a 22, and I cleaned it after each outing???

Great video, humorous and very informative. That was a lot of work and greatly appreciated.

Back in 1979 when I was 12, I saved up all my lawn mowing money to buy a Marlin 22LR rifle, that I still have. My Dad had the same 50th anniversary gold trigger edition. Dad taught me how to clean and take care of it but, I noticed he hardly ever punched his bore on his like he had taught me to do. Late that winter we were out Squirrel hunting, and it was so cold all the squirrels were staying in their nests that day. He said I could shoot of a few rounds into this frozen over mine hole about 100 feet below us. Mine went in and you couldn't even tell I had shot it. His pulled under all kinds of air and you could definitely tell. Took me years to realize that mine would have been better at longer range but, his would do much more damage at close range. He probably didn't have much rifling left in that barrel but his had much more impact on the squirrels. I joined the Marines after high school and rifle cleaning became a religion almost but, I never forgot that at close range.

Impressive wound channel for some of those subsonic rounds.

I've gotten a lot more of those (and others) to expand from a handgun in my knox gel tests. It's harder for bullets to expand in that synthetic clear gel stuff, and even .22Plinkster made a point of this with the recent debacle surrounding the Uppercut ammo not expanding (which I also tested and expanded on the debate).

Your character, I don’t what to call him, “Toilet Guy”, is so genius. It’s what most of us are doing right now, and you’re the only gun channel I know to call it out via channel character.

Great video! Thank you for doing the research!

I’m still amazed at your tests of the .22. Also, the new table looks great! Keep it coming!!!

Thank you for all your time and energy and money. Great video as always.

Excellent review, Thanks.

This is awesome! Great work!

Dude, thunderbolts were cool but that Wal-Mart box of 550 Federal was my jam.

Thank you for the great data.

Always enjoy, good info, thanks

Thanks for putting this together. Very interesting results.

Many thanks for all of your hard work, great data....

I don't remember the episode of _Everyone Loves Raymond_ where Ray bought guns and shot up Debra's nasty Jello dessert 🤔

Thank you for a very thorough testing of 22 LR ammunition.

Back when I was a lot younger you could buy CCi stingers for like 3 bucks a pack. I miss those days

Another Great video ! THANKS.

That's why you are the top ballistics banana! I appreciate you for the amazing amount of work and time spent. Simply awesome.

:-D that "tip" joke with the fake 911 call had me rolling!

Dude. You have a gift. Great videographer, and , well, explainer. Thanks!

One of my favorite videos of yours so far, thanks for a really fun and educational video! also killer thumbnail!

Fantastic video on the 22lr! Just so everyone knows, the 22 Blue Tip requires a hard target in order to perform its intended function. It won't work on a soft target. (I'm sorry I can't be more specific, apparently youtube flips you the bird when using certain words)

I always enjoy your videos.

I've been collecting 22lr for years now, every brand and type of ammo I try to buy 100 rounds for a good test one day. Could be interesting!

That was informative, thank you

I bought a case of the Aguila Supermaximum HP rounds years ago and that stuff is HOT! Supersonic even out of a 3.5'' barrel and a very snappy feel. I loved the stuff. Unfortunately I found out it doesn't cycle reliably in any of my autoloaders. That's not the ammo's fault as it is a bit 'out of bounds' of what autoloaders were designed to use, but I decided it would be best used in revolvers - of which I own none.

The video we've always needed 🤙🤙

That tracer looked awesome in the gel! I don't recall ever seeing someone else do this..

Your brand of humor and tight edits with the jokes keeps me coming back to this channel week after week, keep up the good work

I will say, that rat shot does look like it would cover the entire body width, and half of the length, of a common rat. Seems correctly named to me.

Man awesome test. So much work you did for us. Thank you very much. BTW: I love these freaking caterpillars.

Fun to do 22lr testing! I did some myself like 15 years ago, with home-made gelatin (from baking gelatin powder) moulded in milk-jugs.. interesting to see what round expand and not! From my Savage 93 rifle the Winchester and CCi HP subs expanded and grouped best.. In a way it is odd that subsonic rounds in 22lr actually is better and more stable at longer ranges (+50yards). Keep up the good stuff and fun tests. Greetings from Northern Sweden!

“Those aren’t silk worms!” “SHIT!” I was laughing my ass off! And always cutting to him on the crapper, I’m dying!!! On the crapper……😂😂😂😅😅😅

I like your videos and your sense of humor

Excellent video

Cool test and you kept in fun. All the ones going through after flipping the block don't say much based on too many holes. But it's understandable at that cost. Thank you for putting this together!

Ok honestly I never knew there were that many .22 rounds to choose from. I guess I've always just bought by price or availability. Great video though!!!!!!

If you're not platonically watching Banana Ballistics with your pants off, you're doing it wrong!

Your content is always top notch keep it up

So far I had nothing but ejecting problems with the uppercut ammo out of a m&p compact. It stove pipes out the side. Zero issues with cci. Great video 👍🏻

Impressively huge test!! .

I’m a big fan of the segmented rounds for small game hunting.

Love the one liners in this one

The level of dedication it would take to make this kind of video with this amount of ammunition is super impressive. Great job I'm glad I subscribed.

Caterpillars love all things rimfire. If you look closely, they've got little cups of coffee. I think they are looking to engage you in conversation.

Great video glad to see it

Nice resource. The tracers are really cool, I don't think I've seen that in gel before.

Remington should start making the Yellow Jackets again. That was pretty much the only 22LR ammo that would reliably expand even from a 2" barrel.

Thanks for the quick & dirty presentation 😊

The world thanks you for your dedication to real scientific pursuit and educational material you produce

The tracers are the best for shooting in gel. By the way, is it me or is it kinda weird how a lot of the rounds turn around and point backward?

I like he gets right into it. Thank you sir

i love the easy listening music makes the channel classy

I really enjoyed this video! I mean, I hate the silkworm idea was a bust BUT, I now know I need 22 tracers in my life!!

I find it super interesting that for most of the high velocity hollow points, the pistol's lower velocity didn't expand the bullet, but did sink it nearly the same depth as the mushroomed round from the rifle.

Damn it man - That looks like fun ! Good video big buddy ! Thanks --😊

"Let's hope we don't hit any of those bullets." That's what we call, "foreshadowing". 😉

How many bricks of Thunderbolt? Man, so many. That stuff was as cheap as water. Plus one time we went to Dunham's and they had mislabeled the bricks with the price for a box of 50 (.50 cents at the time) so we bought everything they had, which must have been 40 boxes. That stuff is all long gone now.

Thanks man

And this is why I subscribed to your channel.... All brands,nice!

god bless you for this sort of coverage)

Wow - those were GEL BLOCKS!

Golden bullet, Winchester 555 packs or Thunderbolt is what our feed store carried. On or monthly trip in I would get 4 boxes. During hay season I could buy 10.

Just found your channel and enjoying your presentation style. You should add 2 layers of cotton t-shirt when you use balistic gel, especially with hollow points.

Good job on this video.

Good stuff!

I don't think I've ever fired a whole brick of Remington Thunderbolts. I tried a couple of boxes many years ago, and they were so bad that, once I stopped puking, I never bought any more.

Rimfire enthusiasts thank you for you effort in this large undertaking.

There is no possible way I could say how many thunderbolt bricks I shot growing up. And then you have the golden bullets lol

Lol, entertaining video!! Both the content and comments I enjoyed!! 💥🇺🇲💥

The fact this channel does not have 1M+ subscribers is a an American tragedy. Picking up the mantle of Mr. Paul Harrell. With respect to Paul's Harrell's brother, he does not bring the combination of humor and ballistic information that Mr. Ballistics provides.

Good needed work. The Browning is loaded by Winchester and they are identical. My wife actually carries a Ruger LCR2 in the Philippines and Armscor is all we can find regularly. Home defense is the same thing in a 15 round Armscor .22LR rifle for ammo commonality and it won't over penetrate the concrete block walls. Besides they didn't grow up shooting as I did and I wanted the safe end to be as non threatening as possible so they could concentrate on the other end.

What a fun afternoon at the range.

I was really hoping to see Aguila 60 grain subsonics in your test. Most subsonics are just standard weight projectiles going slow… These are extra heavy, they carry a lot more energy.

I think that’s one of your best videos thus far…!😎🔥🇺🇸 It’s the…VOICE!😬 He sounds so legitimate and almost intelligent!😎😵‍💫 Great job on the table too!🇺🇸

could you do 22wmr next

Love your humor. My gal cracks up at your joked 😂

I am happy to see the CCR quiet 710fps segmented actually segmented. I like the "quiet" and subsonic for rats around the farm so I don't need earplugs or annoy the neighbors in the late evening.

Hey like the banana cart. Looks cool.

Thanks

nice work

Best video of all time!

Such a great channel. I don't have a 22 I know sad lol. I am looking at a 10-22 but its around $450 for new one. I don't know if it's because I am in Canada. I need to do some more research on used one. Cheers 🍻

That was eye opening

Wow i was tired just watching you shoot . You got stamina and dedication.

Ray Romano and administrative results had a baby. I’m here for it 😂

You've definitely filled the void that TNoutdoors9 left. Quality information and good laughs too. Keep it up man.

This channel is a lot of fun

Traduci il testo con la fotocamera Excellent video, it's a shame that in Italy if we RU-vidrs do something like this they arrest us 😂😂😂
