A random test of a couple HP’s I had in stock. A practice run to get the testing and documentation down, also to try running the Chrony in front of the Test Tube for accurate speeds of each HP tested. The video is on the long side but there’s information I discuss here that is […]

Today we find the ‘lower speed limit’ that defines one side of the ‘window of expansion’…a term I’ve coined to describe the upper and lower ‘speed limits’ for any particular Hollow Point design and the bullet metal used.

I was able to score some 130gr Federal HST Wadcutters used in Federal Micro HST 38 Special +P self defense ammo. I have tested the 38 Special +P and it performs really well in Clear Ballistics gel. My curiosity lead me to perform this test with 357 Magnum as there is very little data available […]

Range Day

Today we're shooting the 6.5 Creedmoor vs. Old Standby the .25-06. We will be shooting a Savage Model 16 and a Savage Axis. Chronograph and Ballistics gel test. Will these make a great Caribou or Whitetail Load? You decide what's best!

My Youtube buddy Gordon who owns the channel "Gordons Reloading Channel" is a German reloader who loves reloading and filming, but the best is that he develops software as well. At this time he works at a ballistic calculator similar to "Quickload" which is the standard for reloaders. I think we should support this project and therefore I made a video where I tell you what he needs most.

I needed a way to consolidate and compare the information from all of my powder coated cast lead hollow point tests.

Launching 180 grain Winchester Power Point Ammunition into the ballistic water jugs.

If you recall my last article, I had too much expansion of a HP due to the softness, due to the low BHN of the boolit metal I used. The Penta over-expanded and came right to the edge of losing its weight from the soft lead shearing off the edges of the mushroom. This reminded […]

This is the first time, to my knowledge…that a Chronograph has ever been used to clock the speed of a cast Hollow Point ‘EXITING’ a jug of water after expansion. The projectile entered the jug at 908 Feet Per Second and exited at 450 FPS. Now that may not seem significant to many of you […]

For you revolver fanatics and for those that asked for a revolver comparison of 357 Magnum and 10MM, well you got it. S&W 686 7Shot Unfluted Cylinder, 7inch Barrel S&W 610 Classic 6Shot Unfluted Cylinder, 6inch Barrel Surprise Ending - Watching it all the way through most of you will be interested in the additional comparison I added in. Nope I am not telling --- you have to watch.

The Idahoan demonstrates how to make a substitute for ballistic gelatin out of corn starch. This alternative is not as elastic or as transparent as true ballistic gel, but it does provide similar results in terms of bullet penetration and terminal performance.

It has been 19 months since I have shot a hollow point into ballistics gel. Life happens. I was away from home and out of country for work for several months, and when I returned I found myself with a lot of competing priorities. I’ve only been to the casting bench, the reloading bench, and […]

About Today’s Volunteers . . . Pictured above are todays test subjects, the .45ACP stuffed with a 212 grain Poly Coated Penta Hollow Point. Cases loaded with CCI-LPP’s and charged with 4.9 grains of TiteGroup. In the Chrono test they averaged 891 FPS and had respectable ES and SD numbers as you will see later […]

In this video we are testing the Norma 9mm monolithic hollow point rounds.

Shooting the 6″ Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum over the chronograph with Hornady 125gr American Gunner XTP. Alaskan BallisticsI’m just a regular guy who likes guns, hunting, and ballistics.

Is .40S&W really that much less than 10mm? Would either be a good woods defense firearm? Let’s find out! Alaskan BallisticsI’m just a regular guy who likes guns, hunting, and ballistics.

Excited to be able to test the Cutting Edge Bullets PHD 150gr 45ACP across the chronograph and into Clear Ballistics Gel. For the first time I test this round with a winter jacket over the top of the gel. What do you think of the performance? mr.revolverguywww.dayattherange.com

Bullet performance and ballistic gel

Everyone says 10mm and .357 Magnum are equal. Is that True? Let’s find out as we shoot the Glock 40mos vs. the Ruger 6″ GP100 with Underwood Hardcast bear loads! Alaskan BallisticsI’m just a regular guy who likes guns, hunting, and ballistics.

The Ruger LCP 2 is a .380 chambered light carry pistol. It has a single action feel and shorter trigger reset than it's predecessor the LCP 1 and is therefore easier to make hits with.

The amazing 30 WCF and its performance on deer size game animals, in such a handy little carbine as the 336 Marlin and the famous 94 Winchesters. Leverguns 50Most of our videos are about lever action rifles and other cowboy guns, including carbine and shotguns, sixguns, black powder, hunting, outdoors, and primitive skills.
