Defiant really seemed to know the consumer. Building that round to home defense rifle lengths instead of some crazy frontier rifle length really sells the ammo.

Dude you are on fire! Pumping out so much high quality content at a steady pace is impressive - keep up the good work!

Either one would get the job done for whitetail or boar 🐗. That defiant definitely had great expansion!

The Defiant ammunition with its 124-grain projectile had an average 50-yard velocity of 2213 feet per second for an average 50-yard kinetic energy of 1348 energy foot pounds. The Federal ammunition with its 123-grain projectile had an average 50-yard velocity of 2205 feet per second for an average 50-yard kinetic energy of 1328 energy foot pounds. And since we have the numbers for 75 yards: The Defiant ammunition had an average V75 of 2140 for an average Ke75 of 1261. The Federal ammunition had an average V75 of 2128 for an average Ke75 of 1237.

Both did very good on the Doppler. Both did good in the gel, but that Defiant is amazing! It seems that on all calibers Defiant is coming out on top for sure! Now that we have better choices in this caliber, guess what I will be replacing my Tula with? You get what you pay for as well. 💣🕳👍

It's always impressive how much more energy a rifle has over a pistol. I have a CZ 527 in 7.62 x 39. The Defiant would make a deadly deer hunting round.

Defiant Munitions is my Go to ammunition. That said the 7.62x39 124gr TCX is my favorite round. Not only is it an impressive at penetration and expansion but the accuracy is incredible. I've made some impressive shots out to 200 yards with just a red dot sight. Shots I wasn't able to make with just regular 7.62x39. Oh and great video man! Love your energy 👍

The Defiant had better expansion but the Federal had deeper penetration. All depends on personal preference but either one will do the job. Thanks for another great testing video.

Id stick with the Federal. Save some $$

🇦🇺😎👍I love that caliber , too bad we don’t have semi autos down here🥲. It’s all about safety😉👍.. love those Ruger American bolt action rifles…wow nasty entry , nice 👍 … double nice…The truth contraption …wow it would be hard to remove those copper hooks… great results from both but send me the hooks any day🏁👊😎👍

The Defiant ammo was indeed impressive, at 50 yards, but at 50 bucks a box it won't be my hog killing round. I could certainly see having a dedicated home defense AR pistol dialed in with those for sure though or for deer hunting. But I wonder how far down range enough speed will be lost to where the solid copper won't expand. Test it out for us maybe??? The Federal is expensive for just a soft point at 30 bucks a box, but did well in the test. At $13.95 a box I'm still using the PPU 123 grain soft points and pointed soft points for killing Texas hogs and it does a fine job. Would not hesitate to use the PPU as a defense round either. Another good video with good real world data, thanks Tools.

iam not easy to empress with bullet expansions .you know as I do I guess you tested expansion maybe as long as me 44 years. many factory brands don't live up to expectations. that defiant ammunition expansion has totally rocked my world .I greatly enjoyed the video. Papa 😊

The .308 is coming soon. It left me speechless!😎👊

I’m picking the federal. Deeper penetration, lifted the block way higher on impact, transferred more shock to the block. And it peeled back better. Copper bullet did well though.

Those Defiants should work well as a deer hunting round. I might have to pick up one of those Rugers in 7.62x39. Excellent video.

Defiant Munitions seems to cut the penetration down to make it closer to ideal for a man size target. The expansion on that bullet is impressive. If the problem is larger than man, perhaps the Federal is more suitable.

Yo Tools. Good-Good stuff their my friend. You have a great set up for testing ammo. You have definite leveled up. Great to see all the different ammo speeds the the expansion, penetration and so on. Massive disruption. Defiant and Federal Rock. I applaud you for your really nice range testing set up. Keep it up. 5 Stars ⭐️. Be safe and keep on truckin!🇺🇸🇺🇸⭐️

GREAT TEST!!! Really enjoyed this one/ Having it at 50 yards was a great idea. Drives me crazy when others test rifle cartridges at 10-20 feet. I've used the Federal load in many, many Ak-47's, several SKS's and also my CZ527 and it has always been the most consistent and accurate load I have found. However, I have not yet tried the Defiant load which looks especially impressive. I think they're both great rounds. I'd say to use whichever is appropriate for the penetration required for that application

Great test today Tools. While the Federal penetrated further, over penetration for me, and expanded pretty good the Defiant came out far superior for me.

Good combination of both requirements, sufficient penetration with over the top expansion. Those guys know how to load their ammo. Be vigilant and always be safe my friend
