Ahhh. Not sure of too many .308 rounds that wouldn't penetrate 16" of gelatin...seriously. .308 is going to pass thru just about everytime if fired into a 2 legged predator. It appears this round expanded VERY well and made a massive temp cavity. THAT is the characteristic of a good defensive round...if it doesn't fragment also...which few .308s do...cheers
killed my first deer with this bullet, but it was out of a .243 95 grains with 46 grains of 4831. about 3000 fps. the bullet passed through the aorta and other vital organs and shredded the inside of the deer. X bullets are the shit!!!!
hunting ammo as such has been banned by the Geneva/Hague Convention for use in war or for use by military personnel
ashame isnt it? these rounds would devastate our enemys much more then a full metal jacket... and since an m16/m4/scar dont have enough muzzle velocity to fragment on impact everytime... this kind of ammo in the video IS made in 5.56... can u imagine our m16/m4/scars more lethal again?
@money4u5 Barnes X bullet does have a hollow tip. but the bullet is solid brass, so on impact the bullet unfolds, kinda like a broad head and increases the bullet's diameter. but it does not fragment like a true hollow point
Holy Shit, that's amazing! Not the video, no, no, no. It's all these ballistic and anatomy experts whose knowledge has been overlooked by the Pentagon, but they still can share their expertise by leaving comments here. Thank you for your invaluable service. You are making a difference in America. Yeah!
"minute effects on the body"? didn't you see the thing just screw its way through a block of ballistics gel? There was nothing "minute" about what happened to it, or what would happened if that hit a living creature.
Liver will often tear. Other organs often bruise, but unless significantly penetrated, will have no significant blood loss. Nerve tissue can have shocky effects (tickle your funny bone to understand what happens when you stretch nerve tissue.)
By "any where" I presume you mean anywhere it touches. The famous black talon (Winchester product) had blades from the jacket that stuck out and sliced, doing a great deal of damage with little energy. Stretching the flexible flesh past a blade led to a significant increase in the permanent cavity. Black Talon was withdrawn, and replaced with "Ranger SXT" which has similar performance without the scary black coating SXT stands for "Same Exact Thing".
use your imagination. imagine the bullet hitting bone. it will ricochet and do ridiculous amounts of additional damage. or if it clears bone, it will absolutely tear organs up and twist them. ouch.
The best ammo for home defense is a slow, lumbering round like a .45 hollow point at 800-1,200 fps depending on whether or not it's +P. Less chance to go through a wall but hits like a softball. Stay away from high power rifles for home defense if you have neighbors. #4 Buck is also a good choice as birdshot can be ineffective with thick clothing.
Agree with you there mate. People go for the higher powered stuff and forget there can be loved ones in the house with hi power rounds going around. Only problem here in Australia is the fucking crims have more of a right than the home owners do.
does anybody have an opinion on a good fragmenting .223 round for HOME DEFENSE? I need bullets that stop. The walls of my entire neighborhood are VERY thin and i cant afford to have bullets leaving my house and flying all over the place. I have a shotgun full of bird-shot(got to be better than mace) because even buckshot makes me very nervous. Please reply as i wont watch this videos comments.
anything with stopping power out of a pistol or shotgun would go right through my walls. would a .223 varmint grenade go through even ONE piece of drywall and kill ANYTHING more than a foot past the wall? I dont have and cant afford a pistol. the AR is a gift and my shotgun would rip through the exterior walls of my house and waste somebody on the other side. cars dont stand much of a chance against a shotgun. i have seen that and their tuffer than my house.
Personally, I would trade the AR for a .45 pistol like a good 1911, Glock 21/30 or SigSauer P220. A 230gr JHP .45 is a slow moving round and is less likely to penetrate a perp and targets beyond whereas a .223 will penetrate since it's a FMJ round.
SLOW AND HEAVY=Massive penetration. The .223 doesn't over-penetrate at all, especially with bullets like the V-Max. In fact, it's a rather shallow wound.
Another option is a pistol chambered in .380, .38+P or 9mm loaded with Hornady's new Critical Defense Ammunition. Check out Hornady's website. They really did their homework on this round and it's very impressive. As a matter of fact, with the prices of AR's going through the roof, you could sell it and pick up two, maybe three great guns.
I don't see how a 308 caliber rifle was pushing a 180 grain round at 2907fps...heh the 30-06 pushs 180 grain rounds in the 2800 range with premium high quality ammo. (has more case capacity)
The reason for the .308's existance was the improvement in propellants. It was designed to have 30-06 performance in a smaller package. With the proper loading a .308 will produce the same results as the same bullet fired from a 30-06 casing.
It was most likely some .300 Magnum that was shot from a distance which slowed the bullet down to 2907 fps when it impacted the block. And yes the .300 Magnums bullets are .308 in diameter just like the 30-06.
ive used this ammo for hunting. it is great. the design is perfect and the expansion of the round is controled by three slits in the neck of the bullet.
I make 6 by 6 by 12 inch long gel. Remington gold sabers 165grn 40 S&W produce the best wound channel of all. Better than 125grn 357 JHP. If you cant find gel..soak 8 or 9 phone books in the tub overnight. Duct tape them before you soak.
Exactly, it's spinning from the rifling...I've recovered bullets that have grooves (small) that were created from the rifling...geesh...anyone else disagree?
The swirls are from the exspanded bullet peddles of the bullet on it spinning rotaion .
These peddles cause even more damage and trama as the bullet rotates from the twist of the rifling in the barrel as the bullet passed through the barrel .
impressive expansion and weight retention. Over penetrated a LOT. Even the FBI won't accept more than 14in penetration, and they allow deeper penetration than any other agency. Generally accepted penetration is between 10 to 12 inches for defensive rounds. That thing had what, 20in?
Supersonic bullet, meaning the cavern in the gelatin is a vacuum. This causes even more tissue damage in living targets, and sucks in contaminants from outside. Nasty.
How does any1 ever survive being shot with that? the hydrolic shock alone would killed your ass lol
