all right guys today we have something Pretty stinking cool these are Interceptor rounds from
ballistic machinist they're a 90 grain uh nine millimeter that is CNC lathe Taolfodermus or
whatever his name is did a really good video on it so we're not going to do anything he did you
go check out that video we'll leave the link but I do want to see what it does in gel compared to
some other rounds because it's solid copper but these four petals open up and they stay
open at a 90 degree angle so they do the most damage in a soft media and so then we're going
to also see what that transfers to in a good Tallow tree so we're going to check that out
in just a second and that's not brass that is on it is a shell shock technology it's a really
neat and lightweight two piece casing when you have the lightweight it saves you some weight
but let's shut up and shoot so the first round will be Interceptor but to not waste any time
because our block is melting right after that I'm going to shoot a Fort Scott Munitions tumble on
impact because I want to see what that does and then finally what I'm actually carrying right
now is these 115 grains that I'm probably gonna retire if this test goes really well
PEW
with our Interceptor it flowered open beautifully that's probably right around eight inches and yes
it has four channels that just cut starting around two inches and then just dug deep and then stopped
in a beautiful pattern the Fort Scott tumble on impact did you have some huge cavitation but it
doesn't start till about the seven inch Mark and then it just popped out the end and went on and
then under here we have the hollow point from Black Hills and you can see some fragmentation
about four or five inches and the bullet itself is mushroomed unimpressively when you compare it to
everything else the temporary cavity is also just not impressive at all of that xtp round so here
is the cool thing is those 90 degree pedals that are out wow 1.57 1.057 so there's our difference
okay half inch 0.55 so you're talking almost twice the uh uh the spread so that's pretty cool
so big shout out to our sponsor loaded and safe concealment that's Las concealment.com go check
him out for any holster that you need if you have one with the lights you have one without a light
outside the waistband inside the waistband it's not just some guy molding Kydex in his garage no
they have 3D CAD drawings and CNC machines that they make them so it has a precise fit so if you
need it for everyday carry hardcore use at the range they have some special forces that use it
and even in the new movie you'll see it there so go check them out Las concealment.com we thank
them for sponsoring this video if everything goes right today I'm going to switch out these
black hills for this new Interceptor ammo but I want to see if there's a point of impact shift
Interceptor 90 grain
what did I get let's go see actually it looks like I'm more zeroed for the interceptors than
the Black Hills so the Black Hills these are 115 grains jacketed hollow points it looked
like about an inch left for me and I was having a good press because they're all three touching
however with the interceptors that's center of the plate that I was holding on and uh they're
about dead center where I was holding that's what I like about solid copper rounds is they really uh
group well and don't get a bunch of lead splatter on a plate that is really cool that off of a steel
plate we have that much retention we just found this on the ground afterwards that's neat it even
opened up off a steel now let's go see what it does to a tree so this is our tree in question
this is an invasive Chinese Tello Forester told me the other day these old the seeds from these
things will last seven years Through Fire and Water and everything out ridiculously resilient
We're not gonna kill it today we're just gonna make it shorter and it'll re-spout again so it's
[ __ ] there's gonna be one or two things happen here when you shoot sheet metal or glaminate glass
auto glass or something it can have like a barrier adaptive quality and as you could probably guess
these copper pedals could actually smash together and then act like a full metal jacket in Wood it
can do one of it can do that or it can open up since now we're in the middle of a drought so
this tree is going to be pretty dry but I'm hoping it's wet enough that it'll expand the bullets and
we get to see maximum expansion but uh something shiny hold on oh yes we just crossed a million
subscribers so we will have a 1 million subscriber giveaway and uh hey you can see you can see my
cameraman today right anyway make sure you're on the email list because it will be something
that we cannot really publish you know what I mean we're gonna start with carry guns because that's
what matters with this carry round we're gonna go right there at that mud rub from a hog I guess
I do not know if we penetrated oh we did not so we did good at picking a tree that this will
be a challenge Springfield Hellcat and another reason we're doing this is reliability testing
they're doing great so far
that was 11 10 Rounds that's crazy I think we might be getting a little
penetration or just a skirt we have our first penetrations okay that's
doing good right there mc9 there's whole videos on this
the tree is wiggling that's good our GoPro panned off so we better see what we did oh
snap this might be an ammo eater okay I tried to pick a tree small enough that I have enough
rounds to use these as my carry round and we don't run out of ammo we'll have to keep trying now we
have the cmmg Banshee we're going to shoot a little bit faster and save us some time
that tree's about to fall we about have it because I'm looking forward to what's inside
all right the tree is down we have done our duty
well we have a lot of pedal fragmentation and the neat thing here is we're not seeing anything
on this side of the tree everything's at least three quarter three quarters of the way in so we
have one that kind of folded one that folded back and then this one looks perfect still so once we
blow everything off we have just random pedals we have ones that uh broke a pedal but still
opened we have one that only has one pedal left this one looks just kind of like uh oh these are
two matched together another one there so that's pretty cool and they did uh they did their job
the deeper we dig we keep finding them so that's kind of cool and pretty much what you'd expect
but neat stuff thanks for joining me you can go check these out over at ballisticmachinist.com
he's got some other neat things he gave us some 12 gauge slug dumbbell that we used to
shoot down another tree you can check out that video thanks for watching today guys okay bye
