I used to carry Federal HST, then I asked two policemen I know, which ammo they carry on duty? and they both told me Speer Gold Dot. (I did not ask if it is provided by the town) Both types pass step 1 and 2 however I have not done the next three. I can do the water jug test, maybe I will try it. I am trying to simplify my life now that I’m getting older and can retire in 382 days. Bottom line is, if it is fine for the police to use, it should be fine for me. I also remember your video on hyper ammunition.

We are past 70 and have decided shooting for fun would be a good hobby. We so appreciate the fine work Paul does with this channel. It's to the point. Factual. Avoids jargon. We have been greatly helped. Also entertained. Paul has a unique sense of humor.

Fun Fact : All the locations in this presentation are actually hi-res paintings done by Paul. For the actual shooting, a .17 air rifle was used and then George Lucas was hired to change the air rifle into a revolver in post. Normally, this would cost much more than just using the real ammo, but George did the work for free. When asked why someone like George Lucas would work on these videos, Paul would only say, “George knows why”. George was asked several time about this unusual collaboration, but would only shake his head, look at his feet, and try not to let Paul hear him sobbing.

Agreed, and I think it was intentional.

I tend to go with bonded ammo that I can get in 50 round boxes(usually because they're overruns of law enforcement ammo orders). That rule has generally served me well because 1) it allows me to replace said ammo each year and 2) it negates the "precious factor" that was mentioned in the video on hyper ammo.

@@roryross3878 Not all primers are created equal. Hard primers may make a particular combination of gun and ammo unreliable. In tuned CAS guns that seems to be a real issue but light primer strikes can affect other guns too. I have seen that on the range occassionally. If you use an autloader, the ammo also needs to cycle and feed reliably. Somehow it can be implied that carry ammo should work with the carry gun.

So as I understand, everything you've said here today should be construed as both a recommendation AND a tutorial. ;D

Too be sure, that particular .44 Spl. load by grizzly was most likely within standard pressure range; @15,500 ft/lbs. The ft/sec velocity shown on the package could of been estimated for guns with 6-7" barrel lengths. As you presented in your .44 Spl. video a while ago, there are more powerful and effective factory rounds available on the market. The Special .44 shines in hand loads as proven by Elmer Keith, who may have enjoyed the 3" Ruger had it been around during his lifetime. He had a preference for 4" handguns for a variety of applications. Mr. H., thank you for showing subscribers your methodology of ammo selection. It goes into my YT library for future reference.

And "initial" is just that. Of the criteria I have for my own testing, (and this is not meant as a tutorial or me giving you. . .) well, you know. I've never been one to justify the expense of time and money in using ballistic gel. But, I do get a very good idea of how a round is going to perform when I step up from the flimsy jug skin to a thin walled plastic 5 gal. bucket filled with water and the lid snapped firmly down in place. The wall of the bucket tends to resist splitting as quickly as the plastic jug, it does not flex or give as easily from it's normal shape which leads me to believe that lends itself to allowing the water inside to retain a greater resistance level to compression for a extra instant or so. If results look promising, I move on to using the ammo on the incidental farm pests that require being dealt with and observe the results from that. And obviously, accuracy is always the first test as well, without that, it's just emergency standby junk. Great video Sir!! Hope you can continue to dodge the "beer" brushfire that's playing pure hob with the world!!

I mean, thin-skinned water jugs is pretty much what the intended target *points to self* is.

Plastic water jugs serve very well as a consistent test medium and can be reproduced most any where in the world. The H2O test is as fair for projectile expansion as has ever been fabricated for the purpose comparing terminal ballistics performance. For fans of using ballistic jello, there is a wide variation of densities available. For this reason, the use of water jugs is as an objective and can be replicated under a range of conditions is one that serves quite well. Although not as entertaining as the meat target, it serves to demonstrate hydrostatic shock.

Iv been having a shit day, and listening to Paul calms me down. Thanks Paul!

I might be with you if you were talking about accuracy at long range, then I could imagine that a ballistic tip would provide better aerodynamics, but if you're talking about being meant for expansion at long range instead of close... buddy, there's this little thing called the laws of physics...

Interesting presentation, I’ve never been this thorough in evaluating carry ammo, or hunting ammo for that matter. You’ve opened my eyes and I think I’ll be doing more testing. Thanks for the great videos and keep up the great work.
