- 44 Remington Magnum Underwood Ammo 240 grain JHP ammo ballistics gel test fired from a Ruger 96/44 lever action with 18 inch barrel.
Range gear: masonoutdoors.com
Leather gear: www.masonleather.com
All shots are fired from a distance of 50 yards to encompass the majority of common real world hunting scenarios.
I will be shooting into 10% ballistics gel from 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 and muzzle 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.
Bullet velocity is measured using a ProChronoPal chronograph set approximately 7’ from the shooting bench.
I am fully aware that a chronograph measuring bullet velocity from 7’ away from the muzzle is going to register a slower velocity than if velocity were measured directly at the muzzle, but that difference is going to be so small as to be all but irrelevant in regards to comparison of actual measured velocity versus factory stated velocity.
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.

Some 9mm weeb somewhere... "akshually, unless the boolit is over 2200 fps, the terminal ballistics are the same as a 9mm"
Great test! Really enjoy your channel
Great expansion from the Underwood ammo. However, nearly 100 fps spread on the velocity is a bit too inconsistent. Hopefully you just caught a rare underloaded round. Thanks for another .44 mag test. These are really fun.
Another great video, thanks!
I would like to see a test of the buffalo bore 270gr JSP!
underwood ammo is pricy but it just straight works in my rifle.
Hoping you do the Hornady Custom XTP soon
Would love to see a test on the buffalo bore 44 mag deer grenade 240gr. Love what you’re doing keep it up.
I wanted to know how far you could use these and they still open up. Another video posted these from a 4 inch revolver and got 1345 ish FPS and they still opened up. From your rifle at 1775 they should still work out to about 140 yards. That’s pretty impressive. They might still go further and open up but with a 100 yard zero you’d have to start thinking about drop beyond 3.6 inches at 140 yards. Not that most folks are shooting that far with these calibers. Good test!
Love it
Those are good ones! Great performance.👍👍
Great 44 option. Thank you.
That stuff hammmersss the block
Awesome
Would love to see ballistic gell test of the 350 legend hornady 165 gr FTX and the new hornady 150 gr interlock hornady black.
Another awesome video, great bullet Thanks
Can you try the Hornady custom shop 240 XTP & the Hornady leverevolution 225 FTX & maybe add some double tap ammo into the mix. I use 44mag for deer/ black bear, trying to figure out what’s best and what’s the most ethical for hunting.
25-35 Hornady lever evolution test!😊
Looks like Underwood misplaced a grain of powder on that low one.
