All shots are fired from a distance of 100 yards to encompass the majority of common real world hunting scenarios.

I will be shooting into 10% ballistics gel from https://www.clearballistics.com that has been calibrated to meet the FBI ballistics testing protocol.

While ballistics gel isn’t an exact proxy for big game, small game, predators or defensive situations, it does provide a repeatable medium through which to test various bullets and ammunitions against each other.

With each type of ammo tested I collect data on bullet penetration depth, bullet weight retention, bullet expansion, muzzle velocity and impact velocity.

For reference, bullet expansion is measured at the widest expanded point using a calibrated Frankford Arsenal Digital Caliper.

Bullet weight is measured using a calibrated Frankford Arsenal Digital Scale after having removed as much ballistics gel as possible from the expanded bullets.

Muzzle velocity is measured using a Garmin Xero C1 Pro Chronograph. Impact velocity is a mathematical estimate.

My goal with these ballistics gel tests is to provide hunters like you and I with the most objective information possible to help us make the best choice for our particular hunting situation.

The results of these tests are my own and I cannot guarantee the same or similar performance on your part. The views and opinions expressed in this video are solely my own.
