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.

240gr at 1800fps is surprisingly close to the 250gr .45-70 monoflex that you measured at around 1950 fps.
Hell yeah, the 44 mags are finally here
Great 👍🏼 🤩
Please do the 44mag leverevolution next if you can get your hands on it. I’ve had a lot of success with it and I’d like to see how it compares
Been waiting for this. Great performance for a pcc. Can’t wait to see more as 44mag is like a pet cartridge of mine.
Wonderful rig. Great set up. And, that will cleanly and ethically kill a lot more than deer and black bear! Lol. I'd not go much more than 100 yards with it. But 0 to 50 yards that's definitely a thumper! 👍👍
Nice rifle.
I have a 44mag Henry, I have my Ruger 10/22 I’ve had since a kid, that rifle literally combined the two! How did I not know this rifle existed? 😂.
This ammo always shot well out of my Winchester M94ae!!
Pistol cartridges out of rifle length barrels really showcases the amount of energy wasted from pistol length barrels, it's pretty amazing. Even a 9mm from a 16-18 inch barrel can get close to putting out .357 magnum energy, for instance my Chaszel 18" 9mm barrel adapter in a break barrel shotgun is getting 2600-2700 FPS with 50 gr Liberty Civil Defense ammunition, meaning it's reaching 750-800 Ft-Lbs of energy, which is just nuts for a 9mm. These .44 mag rounds are about double that at 1700 Ft-Lbs, wild shit...
I reload my .44 magnum for about 0.28 a round as of 07-04-2023.
Great performance, a lot better than I thought it would have...I was expecting lead confetti and shallow penetration. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
I really appreciate your consistency in the videos format. You do great testing man, and keeping it the same makes it not only easier to watch but more consistent and relevant results.
Thank you Mason! I’ve been curious about this for a couple years now. Really glad you made this video!!
Love your protocol, love how you explain everything your videos are extremely entertaining to watch.... I wish you success in your business
OMG, Im in love with that Ruger lever action 44 Mag. And that penetration was impressive!
... gotta love the short lever stroke on that Ruger 96/44
Very good results. Lotsa deer harvested with 44 magnum rifle & revolver in our family. It is very effective. I have gotten 1300 fps out of 6" in past. Thank you so much for good description, data & demonstration. Well done.
That 96/44 is a badass brush gun
