you are the dragnet of gun channels "just the facts" no bs, no hype, no promotion or endorsing, just here is what I got you be the judge. thanks for all the great content you put out.

This stands is proof positive that modern hollow point ammo doesn't need to be so expensive.

The 7.62x39 is my go to round. It’s just so devastating in all situations. I use the 154gr soft points for all of my hunting and personal defense. The 154gr is really impressive.

Another awesome test. I love your 38 special, 357, and 7.62 x 39 tests

I really appreciate how you make the content your subscribers request. I pretty much watch all the biggest guntubers and have every since the first days of most of those channels and your channel is one out of about 3 channels that I watch every single video that is uploaded and I honestly enjoy every single one. You sir will have a huge channel one day. Not saying it's not big now but one day soon it will be huge. Keep up the good work brother and thank you for the great content.

I'm not the one that requested it but it goes to show you why this channel should have more subscribers. Tools responds to all questions, comments and does a lot of viewer requests. There's only a handful of YT personalities that do that. Greatly appreciate this channel Tools. Keep up the good work

I hunt white tail in North East Pennsylvania with 124gr soft points from S&B. They shoot extremely tight groups at 100 yards from the Ruger American Ranch. They also drop deer in their tracks. I also really like the Wolf 154gr SP’s again they shoot right groups from the Ruger. I used them for Black Bear hunts last year but never had a chance to test them out.

I’m a fan of soft points. But either one would definitely get the job done.

Nasty! 1500 foot pounds. Imagine taking one of those center mass? Ouch!! Great video. Thanks.👍🇺🇸

Awesome tools! I've been looking forward to this comparison bigtime. Yea I'm the pain in the ass that requested it. Thanks for getting around to it. Much appreciated!

👍 I've got a bunch of steel core 7.62 39 . Quite fun to play with seeing what you can punch through !

Run Tools, camera down and gelly bouncing down the mountain. Another outstanding ammo test by T&T. The commentary mixed with the humor make your channel one of the best guntubers channel out there. Thanks again for all you do. Be safe, be vigilant

I seriously laughed out loudly at "Comrade Jelly Time" thanks Tools, I'm glad your camera wasn't assassinated

Glad to see 7.62x39 tested

I really like the 7.62x39 rnd. I always wondered how a soft point compared to a hollow point. Great vid.

Thanks for doing this. I've seen others do similar tests. Both are devestating, and one of my favorite tools in this caliber. 30 rounds of this will definetly put a smile on your face. 😊

Excellent energy dump & stopping properties. That soft point would be good for whitetail & hogs.

Good test, Tools! My experiences are pretty much the same as yours. It is also possible (if you're willing to put in the work!) To turn FMJ into quick and dirty hollow points. Just use a heavy grit sand paper, maybe 60 grit ir so, and all it takes is a few seconds against a belt sander and bingo, hollow point. It doesn't take but 4 or 5 seconds and the bullet doesn't get hot enough to affect anything. If you're feeling fancy they can be touched up with finer grit to smooth off the burrs. It isn't necessary, they will still shoot just fine. Just don't grind them down so far as to effect feeding. Just sand off enough to get into the hollow space under the tip of the bullet and they work exactly like the store bought HP's. I also find Tul ammo to usually be a bit lighter loaded than the Wolf, which is loaded lighter than most other commercial "military" grade ammo. None of it is exactly fast to begin with. If you roll your own and want some screaming velocities, load up some Hornady 110 gr. .308 soft points! 2500 fps is easy to get yet these little Carbine bullets, while not the most accurate, the velocity, if you hit anything, is unreal! Theses bullets tend to stay together, too, with perfect mushrooms at that 2500 fps! Good fun stuff to play with, for sure! Cheers, crkckr

Tula makes a 124 and a 154 grain sp. I like the 154 sp. They seem to shoot a little more accurate.Thanks for the vids.

I remember the 122 gr HP out of the SKS I had were some wicked rounds. They were devastating on wild pigs.

I've been watching YT gun videos for over a decade, and so far only ONE round of 7.62 x 39 has eclipsed the 2500 fps mark! 2670 fps if I can remember correctly, and it was tungsten!

Great video as always. I would love to see a comparison video between a 223/556 softpoint and a FMJ.

Great video, as always! I love the fact that you can chuckle at yourself! As soon as you said you put down the tarp on the ground, I think we all knew it wouldn’t fall on the next shot! Lol!😉😂 Thank you for sharing! Stay safe!🇺🇸👍🏻

I just ran across your channel today. I have watched several of your videos. Great job. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for another fine round of "Jelly Time" testing. Impressive stuff 👍🏻.

Great job Tools! I like how you always mix up the calibers and now..the jelly color too… woooohooooo….its jelly time

Fantastic video! I love the way you roll your facts and test of stuff us real day to day guys like.

Nice ! I have a few different rounds and now I have an idea what these will do . Thank you . 🔥🙏⚔️🛡✝️🇬🇪

Love the content, always pretty quick to click on your vids for the last 6 months or so I have been following!

Great test and results. I was wondering how both types of ammo would do. I do believe it was the HP’s you tested before with same results, I am also a fan of the soft point as well.I use the ammo out of my SKS. Both work for me.Good performing steel cased ammo. Love the way you through in those little digs at yourself with the Gelly and Contraptions. Lol 😂 Be safe stay cool buddy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have always been a fan of the AK, people can say what they want about them and especially the steel case ammo but I love mine they have never let me down and they have never had anything other than steel case. Have a good one brother see you on the next one.

I've never had a rifle chambered for the 7.62x39 mm, But I suppose for economy ammo it's Ok, Some folks like steel case and Berdan primed ammo, But my hand tools, I use brass case & boxer primed, Thanks for sharing, Have a great weekend.👍

Gr8 stuff Tools! Love AK's so appreciate you testing this ammo!

Awesome performance, both nasty rounds. Thanks for your hard work and the video Tools!

Man o man , the energy those rifle rounds put out !!! Thanks for the test !!

As always, another excellent video. Well done sir 👏

Awesome videos!! Pretty much kills the myth that AK hollow point acts just like FMJ.

Awesome video as usual great information without the silliness of many other channels

Muzzle velocity for the Tulammo hp is listed at 2330, so these did pretty well..wolf sp is listed at 2410.

Lethal no questions Glad that noncameras were hurt in the making of thos video

Will say from a practical perspective doing skunk removal on a buddies property,that the 7.62x39 hollow points work. Buddy shot the skunk 5 times with a 10/22 using thunderbolt rds with the only result being it changing direction and heading towards a bush. Connected with one russian think was silverbear hp round and it dumped energy and sent it literally front flipping into said bush. Wish still had my old 20" barreled norinco skiss. Ar47 just doesnt have the same charm that old thing had. Was one of the good import ones,cant remember the numbers but had a clean chrome lined bore and shot as straight as you could ask it to. Through a tapco number on it as came with a chote machine and tool stock on it that was too wobbly for my taste. And threw a scout scope on it as well as a couple leather 1" dog collars I sinched as tight as I could and cut down to make sure the gas piston cover that had the picatinny didn't wobble. Kept it fed with 20 rd poly duckbill mags as was less chance of the sharp fmjs in the deep curved mags biting into the poly and hanging up since was almost like they were built for hp or sp rounds not fmjs. Never had a problem with the brand x 30rd steel box it came with and got a 40rd promag to work pretty well after fed it about 36 or 7 rds then presded them back and forth repeatedly ad nauseum to literally saw a groove in the poly for fmjs to run. Actually borrowed a folding grip that came on brothers airsoft gun since had to have it folded to easily clear the hook and press mag insertion method with the 40 rd banana. Much preferred the 20rd and just throwing a meaty rubber rail cover on the under pic rail for grip. The 20 rounders also kept weight down a bit,were more reliable and was already twice the cap on what ended up being a very capable "surprisingly marksman" rifle at least at the 200 yd mark had it sighted for. Never did figure out if the tapco telescoping buttstock on it was a mil or civ spec AR clone as planned to attach a fixed butt stock to it since it had a slight wobble to it I didnt like but wasnt near as sloppy as the chote ir choate,cant remember which and probably coulda fixed kinda easy with a couple O rings or some tape or junk. Miss my skiss Was what one could call a wwsd rifle. What would simonov do

Good video T&T, thank you for posting this.

😆💥 shot the gel off of the table. Id like to see some more like this! Looked like the soft point had a slightly better wound track. Nice job 👍

Great test once again Tools. 🇺🇸

That was the most amusing jelly test! HAha Im down to 600 or so rounds of PPU soft point B/T and they are super consistent. I happy that you did a test with the soft points. I would love to see a comparison between some Fort Scott against some Underwood. Thanks and keep up the great work

I hunt whitetail with 8M3 & 154gr SP 7.62x39. 8M3 is absolutely devastating on whitetail & hogs. Both rounds leave massive exit holes as well.

Thanks for this test I didn't know those hollow points work so well.. I use the Hornady red tip bullets forget what there called and was thinking about stocking up on some soft points eventually

👍👍pretty similar in performance,thanks tools for the comparison

That was a good bouncing gel test. Both performed good. Probably some good deer hunting ammo. Thanks for the video.

Awesome video. I've had people argue with me about the quality Tula. Other russian, steel cased ammo ive tested wouldnt expand at all. Either way the 7.62x39 is a sweet cartridge. Keep up the good work.

I really like the 762×39 and I mainly shoot steel case (cheaper) I bought so much of it over the years before the inflated prices. Another great video keep them coming 👍.

Tula and would make awesome range ammo no matter the caliber it's very consistent and reliable in most platforms

Thanks bro i was wondering how these two would perform up against one another. Hollow had huge cavity but the soft point left a pretty long wound channel. Honestly probably use the hollows for more energy dumped in one central location. 👍👍

Thanks for showing this I recently found a lot of the soft point rounds and wondered how they would work on deer I don’t think I would want all those little pieces of led in my food I think now they make a soft point that sticks together much better thanks again my man see ya latter.

As usual love your videos. I like this type of segment cause I learn what ammo I will buy. What side mount are you using on that tool?

I’m actually surprised these expanded like they did. I’ve seen test before where neither of these Bullets acted much different than a FMJ. Glad to see it.

Great video and I actually use the Tula hollow points myself

Great info, thanks for sharing. You should show the wound channels from more angles on the outside of the gel, and then cut the gel halfway through each bullet trajectory to really reveal the details of the wound channels I'd use the HP for self-defense, to minimize over-penetration. It also has a wider permanent wound cavity. I'd use the SP for hunting, for deeper penetration of quadripeds. Also, it looks to have a bit of wider permanent wound cavity early on, and definitely carries on more of a permanent wound cavity at the later part of the wound channel. But, most human torsos (standing, facing you) aren't that thick, so I'd rather have the wider wound channel in the middle that the HP has for self-defense. The SP looks like a fair hunting round, although all the little pieces of the bullet would be a major negative for a hunter

Took my first buck in the mid late 90's with the HP x39 out of a Norinco SKS. It may not be pretty. But at 20-25 yards. It sure did the trick. As time and experience came. I found a preference for the 154gr SP in the 7.62x39 works well for deer, others have spoke well of the same load on hogs. But if you get either of those in the lungs and they perform as they did in your test. Freezer is getting filled up 😆

Hell yeah another sweet video. Thanks Tools.

Sweet rifle 👍, wish I could afford a good AK. Similar performance between the two and another great jelly test in the book 😁. Have a great weekend

GREAT DEAL. Now I feel good about what I bought for my pistol.

Awesome test as usual.

Well I think the Doctor probably wouldn't be able to remove all those fragments.😁 That jelly was flopping like a fish! Great test Tools! Thank you! 👍🏻

Devastating rounds. Messy but very effective. Keep ‘em coming. 👍🇺🇸👊

I feel a wee bit better about the JSPs I have in my AK now. Great test.

Thank you! I enjoy all your videos.

I shot a deer with a similar sp, I never found the jacket, but the lead core was found and it weighed in right about 85 grains, so that gell is a pretty accurate representation, my shot did strike bone, and did penetrate more than 16 inches as well though, it was a frontal shot and the core traveled all the way to behind the ribs. Overall I'd say the 7.62x39 is a great deer cartridge at moderate ranges and the cheap Russian sp or hp will put them down with good shot placement.

Nice, i haven't seen any for my AR in 6 or 7 months. I bought the last 2 boxes of HPs thinking they would be more but haven't seen any no where since! Sure glad i didn't waist em on targets!!!👍

Thats a awesome test as usual,,im curious how the 223 wolfs react in gel..good work brother..

Yet another good presentation!

Both rounds are absolutely devastating! Since the HP round doesn't over penetrate I'd say it would be a good SD round & the SP round is perfect for hunting.

🇦🇺😎👍Hey brother I love the 7.62x39. We aren’t allowed semi autos just in case nothing happens but we are allowed bolt actions to keep the tyrants safe. The only cheap soft points are PPU $79/100 and they work well…great wound damage from the 7.62r tumbler🏁….🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🤠👊

Great video thank you. I would love to see a video on cheap 223 HP vs cheap 223 FMJ.

Tools is the absolute MAN! Love everything you're doing brother. Keep on keeping on and soon enough YT will be providing more than enough to quit the daily grind, and then you can focus on firearms 24/7/365 baby 🤘

Awesome test i just picked up a bunch of 123gr sp to run out of an ar15 i chambered in .30 cal

lmao...the look on your face when the jell left the table an hit the ground. glad to know i am not the only one that happens too..lol.

I'd use whichever one shot more accurate, cleaner, etc. out of my rifle. Can't lose either way.

Another great video as always. I Love the x39 round. Bought a BCA 16" AR upper 3 yes ago and a BCA 10.5 last yr. my daughter has taken 2 deer and a black bear and my wife took a 333.8 black bear sow last month with Barnaul 123g soft points in the 10.5. Full pass thru with great wound channel.

Should compare 7.62x39 vs 30-30

Thank you for this. You tube gun guys like you answer every question and we appreciate it

The energy dump from both rounds is fantastic. Though I wouldn't use them for hunting.

I tell ya the numerous amounts of PSA emails showing their ak and pistol combo's are really starting to tickle my fancy!!

I appreciate your work. You have convinced me to go purchase Tula HP ammo.

THIS...I GOTTA SEE! I have s.p.'s, h.p.'s, fraggies too...but I ain't nevah had no jelly...

You should try the 7.62x39 trident ammo. It's an all copper hollow point with some nasty expansion. I've used it for hog hunting and it's my personal favourite for ak hunting ammo

I got both of these rounds stacked deep this is a test I needed to watch

Great test! One thing I noticed is that the HP round has an open base on the bullet and the SP has a closed base on the bullet. Curious why that is and if it had any impact (pun intended) on your test results. Would be curous also to see how the TulAmmo 154 grain SP would compare.

Love the 7.62x39 Thank You Sir

If I was an ak sk guy I'd be 100% in on both those rounds.

I just bought a gf3, hope to test it this coming week. For how much I'd use something like that, the gf4 and gf5 just didn't justify the extra beans.

I've seen many gel tests where the hp bullet acted as a fmj and went through the block.

Oh man! Love a good 7.62x39 jelly test. My favorite AR is built in that caliber. Thanks brother.

I've got no dog in this hunt but I appreciate you supporting PSA. Now if they'd only get that ammo production line up & running ....

I found some Fort Scott 117gr cooper spun 7.62x39 TUI rounds. I bet those would make a great video.

AK carries a heck of a punch good video Tool's.

Awesome results

love your videos brother keep up the good work...

Yes, either of these rounds would likely get the job done. Even a FMJ in this caliber would do well. Though I'd lean towards the hollow point if I had a choice. It had adequate penetration and the expansion on that one was superior.

Frankly, I was impressed with the h.p. mushroom. I've only used them for range fodder. I use both 125gr. and 154gr. s.p.'s. Pigs don't complain. I did buy some fraggies, for two leggeds, but thankfully habe never used the first round. I had read that the 7.62x39 weren't true h.p.'s, that it was only a shallow tap in the end of the projectile. This vid tells me otherwise, h.p.'s would work as well as s.p.'s for hunting. Just goes tah, show...ya nevah can tell!
