This is my regular carry ammo in this pistol. When I’m not carrying the SW327PC - it’s big for a snubby but 8 shots 357mag and very low kick. But I’d be perfectly fine carrying 351pc- if I could only have 1 EDC it would be 351c!

That's a good result from the federal punch. I am amazed at how much improvement has been made in rimfire ammunition in the last few years. Great video Buffalo!!!

The clear gel blocks do not replicate tissue as accurately as the “pond water” gel blocks you disdain. Those blocks are made in house out of a powder and have to be cooled. They are used by the FBI for ballistics gel testing, as the resistance simulates human and animal tissue more accurately and will affect the expansion of projectiles differently than mail ordered ballistics gel.

Short version: Hornady: 😖 Speer: 😏 Federal: 😁 I'm not surprised Federal wins the contest. I use HST ammo in all my carry guns. Federal seems to be outstanding at producing defense ammunition. Thanks, Buffalo. Your shot placement was perfect!

I think you got your Hornady and Speer mixed up. Speer had more velocity, but Normandy had more foot pounds of energy and they do more damage to their targets (meat and the like). Hornady also has more penetration.

Well Buffalo, one thing I can say for sure is that you are a damn good shot! So many guys shooting multiple rounds at gel blocks miss their aiming point at short distances, just like you are shooting at (and HITTING your marks). Even more impressive is when you stretch a little revolver out to 50 or 100 yards and rarely miss. I really appreciate good marksmanship! Keep up the excellent work!

Also important for chronograph readings are air temperature, altitude, and humidity--so you did good. Jacketed pistol bullets at less than 1000 fps impact velocity won't show a lot of expansion. The little bit you got in your test was better than I expected. Good work!

@nathanlambshead4778

Depends on the bullet construction and material. Softer lead core, thinner jacket, etc. will help a round expand without as much velocity. Federal is great for doing it right. So do the others, Speer being a Federal company, and Hornady has always been a solid ammo company.

Excellent job Buffalo! I know it adds a little more to the test in setups but in my rifle testing I found a lot more info using the chronograph at every stage of testing. You will know the velocity entering the gel block as well as the average velocity test. Just a suggestion to add to an already excellent test my friend.

When I tested the Hornady & Speer from a PMR 30 in organic gel, the expansion of both was very impressive due to the higher velocities from the longer barrel. What was more interesting however, was that the 30gr V-Max did a lot of damage from pretty repetitive tumbling and deformation. Would be interesting to see what those do from this snub nose, if they still tumble and tear up a block...

This or one of the best comparison videos I have seen! Well presented and topped off with excellent marksmanship. Personally I use Hornady Critical Defense for personal defense in every caliber it is offered, because I have not had any cycling issues or problems. However, because of your video, I will take a closer look at Federal Punch to see how it performs. I just hope they offer Federal Punch in some of the more exotic calibers that Hornady does so I can try it in everything I have.
