That’s about the most impressive.45 I’ve ever seen! It expanded to almost .70 and still penetrated over 19 inches. That’s better than 99% of all calibers out there. The fact that it did it out of a 3.8 inch barrel just makes it that much more amazing!

Tools, I think you are absolutely right about the Punch having a more pure lead, making the Punch softer. I think that heavy 230 .45ACP at the lower than box velocity pretty much proves it. I think I will check some of those babies out myself. My Pop has a 1911 in .40S&W and I am curious how that soft lead in a high pressure round like the .40 will do. Will it blow up?? Who knows? A good idea for a Tools Test... 40 in a long vs short barrel with The Punch!! Keep 'em comin', tools!

The 9mm Punch is always way cheaper than HST and unlike HST I actually see it in stock at my local shops. Not bad. Edit: I was referring to what is available ON THE SHELF at my local stores and thus what the average person probably buys. I was speaking for the masses because I'm assuming most of you aren't buying 50 round boxes of LE Critical Duty/HST for $25 a box like I do with a Qualified Professional discount on Buds... I understand there are better deals to be had and I'm not going out of my way to buy lil 20 round boxes of Punch 👊🏻 But I'm glad it performs.

I've never seen the price difference between the punch & HST be big enough to actually matter tbh.. I would rather pay like 5$ more per 50 rd box and get the HST's or gold dots.. we can't use the LE discount but we can still find the LE boxes cheaper at certain places and it's the same stuff 🤷🏻‍♂️

Pure lead is dark gray. They add tin to it to make it harder. The more tin they add to it the brighter it gets. Hard cast have a lot of tin and that’s why they are so bright silver.

Those were some awesome results!. I'm a big believer in the Federal HST but these did great. They may not have had the most "impressive" numbers but those results were perfect. Good penetration, great expansion, really nothing left to be desired, and I would most certainly have no problem running these as my defensive carry ammo in 9mm or .45 🙂👍

@kennethrisner8648 3 ай бұрын
Used to be a 9mm would out penetrate a 45 no matter the round used, but this is one of the few examples where it didn't. That said the performance difference between the 2 calibers using the punch is so close a switch from the 9 to a 45 wouldn't be justified

Look i said it before and I'll say it again because i said this to Federal multiple times on the .45. Keep the same design, the same pressure, but reduce the damn bullet to a 200 grain and you have a damn solid choice. This 230 punch is my carry ammo in my glock 30, but it's still not quite where it should/needs to be.

Both are sufficient; however, the 9 will always fall behind the 45 in end result capability. That said, I love your videos and learn something from each one. In the end, your results and the results of others show the significant advantage of the 45acp. ALL issues considered, all videos made, I am convinced a man's best chance of stopping a bad guy, or several bad guys, and the best chance of survival when limited to a handgun, is found in a 45 acp with at least a 4" barrel. I'm referring to ALL considerations: ease of carry, capacity, ease of operation, relative "stopping power," time into initial shot, concealability, comfort, all other factors bearing on full time carry, a lightweight commander size 1911 is the very best. Other carry guns are of course adequate, but none other has ever been made to best that choice. I carry others at times but I know I am under gunned compared to the very best.

The 9mm really impressed me with the expansion and penetration that 45 ACP was no slouch I never expected it to expand that well federal did there home work and turned out some nice ammo. I have some of the punch in 9mm I haven't had a chance to try it out yet I will be doing a lot more now that the weather is nice. Great video comparison 45 ACP and 9mm are the two most popular self defense rounds.

If you want a cheap way to test the lead’s hardness you can try an old reloader’s trick using a cheap set of artist’s pencils. Get them nice and sharp and try to scratch the lead, starting with the softer pencils and working your way up. You can estimate the hardness of the lead based on the known hardness of the pencil graphite.

Best way I can sum Punch up is it’s discount HST. It’s slightly cheaper but for the every day person, mimics about the same performance. It struggles on barriers or anything tough where it is infect a soft lead alloy, but it works very well imo in anything organic. I’ve carried and tried out both and unless you need that extra barrier penetration, punch is the way to go

That's some good performing stuff. Yep, the .45 was a very pleasant surprise. I'd like to see them put out a 200gr or a 185gr for the shorter barrels. Velocity will be up a bit at distance, it may never be needed for 25yd shots, even if it doesn't expand it starts out where a lot of 9's end up with downrange expansion.

The HST is going to be hard to beat, but that Punch has turned out to be pretty good too. I just bought that same punch load in 45 acp a couple of weeks ago myself. Got some in 40 s&w too. I trsted some in 38 special from my snubbie in wetpack and they done ok too. Would be interesting to see this 230 grain 45 acp bullet loaded into the 45 long Colt version.

Wow, that .45acp surprised me. I haven't even heard of this ammo other than the .22lr. I think I may get some of that for my short barrel .45's. Looks like Federal Punch for the shorties and HST for the rest. Much thanks TnT!

I love federal punch! I shoot the .40 S&W from a G23, .45 Auto from a G30, 22lr from a S&W 22C, and 9mm from a S&W Shield Plus. Performance is so consistant every time. I can't lie, I love HST's in my 9mm but the Punch is a damn close second. Thanks for all the testing. Love this channel, i tell everyone i know about jelly man!

I consider that over-penetration. Some shooters don't worry about that, but I find it a great concern. The possibility or even likelihood a bullet passing completely through an attacker and possibility hitting someone else is something I never want to take a chance on. I really don't even know why Federal makes the Punch when their HST line performs consistently well without over-penetrating.

This is Bob LD'S husband. I'd be far more worried about hitting what I was shooting at than 19" penetration. If I recall FBI says 12"- 18". You are more likely going to endanger innocent bystanders than to over poentrate when you are under stress.

@@hotrodray6802I'm a retired police officer. And I don't miss shots. I was even awarded a S&W .38 Spl Snub-nose revolver for getting a perfect score on the academy qualification shoot. I didn't miss on duty either. My experience is a perfectly good shot is not good at all if it passes through the intended target and then hits the wrong person. Murphy's Law is abundant. The best defense against collateral damage is not to miss the intended target. But the right ammo is important too. And this test indicates that Federal Punch is not the right ammo.

That was great velocity from a 3.8" barrel. That is 2 great 45 rounds you have found for us this week alone. These will certainly perform out of the Commander. Might stagger the mag with the 185 Critical Defense and rock a little Van Halen with them -- The Best of Both Worlds 🎸 Thanks again, Tools 👍🇺🇸
