Anyone else see this yesterday? I saw it on Instagram.

The video is 33 seconds long and shows a bullet hitting a block of gel. (I cound't get it embedded)
I have a few boxes of those, I don't have any ballistic gel but do happen to some level three ballistic board that is rated up to and includes 44 mag. The 10 mm blew through with ease and embedded in the dirt bank behind it about 16 inches. I have a recovered slug that is only slightly deformed.
We also fired 40 S&W and 9mm. The 40 went through but the 9 couldn't. I couldn't find any of the 40's but the cavity in the dirt didn't go as deep.
The ballistic board I have is the layered fiberglass type that is just under a half inch thick.
If a light bullet and high velocity is the goal, the Underwood 135gr Nosler HP at the same velocity as the Ft Scot ammo is a better choice in my opinion. You have a 11gr heavier bullet and a hollow point that literally is a flying hand grenade. This is what is in my 10mm Longslide when I'm at the ranch. It makes a huge mess on coyotes and hogs. It's not for hunting an animal that you intend to eat. On a 400lb hog, you'll almost get a passthru with a shoulder shot. The internals are mush.
Plus the 135's are so fun to shoot, some serious power 😀
I wonder about the tumbling effect and if it zips through three ballistic boards it doesn't sound like it tumbled.
Do we know what the velocity is on this load?
