Doing a ballistic test against to see which cartridge is best against a "dangerous animal" (unspecific) between the .357 Magnum, 10mm auto and .44 Magnum. Ammunition used is all Buffalo Bore hard cast ammunition. The .357 Magnum is a 180 gr flat nose bullet, the 10mm auto is a 220 gr flat nose bullet and the .44 Magnum is a 255 gr semi wadcutter bullet. Testing with my "dangerous animal" ballistic pack consisting of 3.5" of bologna covered by a layer or thick carpet backed by 5/8" of plywood and into water jugs. Always appreciative of any channel help :) www.patreon.com/user?u=5828221

VERY IMPORTANT, read this before you watch! I get the "limp wrist" comment nearly daily in one video or another with this pistol, but from people who haven't a clue what they are talking about, so I urge you not to jump to conclusions. Most of the issue with malfunctions is the feed ramp, the Lone Wolf AlphaWolf CONVERSION barrel I use has a very thin feed ramp, not wide and loose chamber like a stock Glock feed ramp/chamber. Also, in this video I was not using a 10mm extractor in the conversion, so that didn't help. If you still do not believe me, I did a study of all of the hollow point ammo tests I did with this Glock 41 pistol in both the stock and the conversion setup. Why this is important is because I tested SEVERAL .45 ACP+P rounds that were well over the typical energy level of 10mm, as well as at or above typical 10mm bullet weight, and I never once had a jam in those rounds. Here is the study of just the Glock 41 portion: Glock 41 (.45 ACP) Shots Fired: 93 Malfunctions: 1 Malfunction Rate: 1.1% Glock 41 (10mm Conversion) Shots Fired: 102 Malfunctions: 23 Malfunction Rate: 22.5%

I used the .44 mag for several years in grizzly country. The older I got, the less accurate I was in multiple firings. I blame it on the 44's recoil. I went back to the .357 mag. The reasoning was that I could put more lead into the animal with the better control. Yes, I use Buffalo Bore. I might also add, depending on the situation (like accompanying my son on his elk hunt), I often carry a 12 gauge with slugs and prefer this combo over any handgun on a grizzly.

The winner in this test was the old and venerable 357 mag. What a wondeful round made by BB. Just awesome. 10mm was also an incredible contender. Lots of power and penetration but in a dangerous scenario I would use a revolver any day vs semi auto (ruger, S&W and some others make excellent 10mm revolvers) And finally the 44 mag showed the tremendous power factor but also heavy recoil: You need to be Mr Miculek to use properly heavy loads in a 44 mag. :-) Thanks a lot for the vid.

We live here in Wyoming and when we go for a walk in the boonies, I carry nothing but Buffalo Bore ammo! .357 Mag, to be exact. Their 180 grain hard cast flat point gas checked round at 1400 fps gives me 783 ft/lbs energy, and far superior penetration to anything a 10mm can deliver. I'm working on getting a .44 mag and will carry Buffalo Bore rounds in that, as well. We have our share of critters here in Wyoming with teeth, claws and power and we love 'em all, but not wanting to get eaten, we protect ourselves! God bless!

@@garysarratt1 Yes, but all semi-autos can have a hang-up. Some are due to the gun and some are due to poor technique of the shooter. Most experts on the subject still recommend a revolver over a semi-auto for dangerous game. Also, more people can learn to shoot a 357 mag well over even a 44 mag. In general, the fixed barrel of the revolver is more accutate than a semi-auto. The 1911 platform is the primary exception. That would be the only semi for me in 10mm.

Story time. I carry the same load in my 6" GP100 357 mag. I actually had a serious encounter with a roughly 200lb mother black bear with 3 cubs 4yrs ago. I was deer hunting with my son trying to get him his first buck. He was carrying my 243. Anyway we sat next to a ravine/creek. We saw the bear and 3 cubs in tow traveling up the ravine. Wouldn't you know it she came out and up exactly where we were sitting,,couldn't of walked by of course,,....She was less than 10ft. face to face with us. Ears back, teeth clacking, making low woofing sounds. She was not backing off. I grabbed the rifle and had it aimed at her head, but with a scope I was just pointing it at that range. Even if she charged and I fired chances are I would of shot over her as fast as they can charge. Luckily I jumped up and yelled and fired the rifle in the ground and she retreated, and the cubs all went up the nearest trees..lol!..Lesson learned to carry my revolver at all times up in my deer woods. As a last resort my handgun on my side could be utitilized if the bear had actually attacked and gotten on top of me..The rifle would of been useless at that point in my scenario. Been carrying that revolver up there ever since. She is still happily living in my woods..sidenote it was the last day of black bear as well but i didn't have a tag.

Remember that you can always give a black bear a warning shot and they will typically be gone. Where I live we have plenty of black bears. Most of the time they move off before we see them. A mother bear and her cubs is a different story. I would still give her the benefit of a warning shot in the dirt if she was close enough to scare me. I would only shoot the bear if I had no other option. In my state a warning shot for a human can yield an attempted murder charge. So I always tell my son when he is in the woods - bears get the warning shot, but if a bad person is trying to do you harm it must go to center mass. Wild hogs are our greatest threat. If they are in range and not moving away you are in danger. We know of more people who have been hurt or killed by wild hogs than bears.

Great test! Been waiting for something like that. The bottom line to me is a hard cast flat nose at 1200 FPS will work if the bullet is placed right. I carry the 180 grain BB in both my 4 inch Colt Python & my 3 inch Ruger SP101. It was really good to see both the chronograph readings & penetration tests! In my S&W 2.5” PC 629 .44 mag. I have been carrying BB Heavy 255 grain SWC .44 specials. I will now try some of those BB .44 mag loads that you tested. Never quite trusted a semi for a dangerous game back up. I have read to many accounts of the handgun barrel being buried in the animal with the hunter/ hiker pinned to the ground. Hard to beat a revolver!

I choose the 357 Magnum, mainly because I already have a couple, but also because I don’t really appreciate anything that recoils harder than that. That said, I had fired a friend’s S&W 629 Performance Center four inch with a comp. Even with 240 grain magnums, the comp made the recoil feel not much worse than a stout 357. Nothing wrong with the 10mm, but just not that interesting to me at the moment. Excellent and informative video.

Then I got the S&W 66 and now carry that with the 180gr Buffalo Bore you tested here.

@Azaziz Donasdogamatastos Most of the pressure from revolver ammo is expressed on the top strap, forcing cone and that area. The side walls are not a big deal. But that being said, there's no reason to think it wouldn't handle it. Like I try to explain often, lead or hard cast lead has less friction going down the bore than jacketed, so what you will see is if you loaded this round with a jacketed bullet, you would get maybe 1,225 FPS instead of approaching 1,400 FPS. So, basically when you see hard to believe numbers with .357 Magnum hard cast, it's actually barely hotter than a standard charge, but the faster velocity on account of the reduced bore drag from the lead bullet, is deceiving.

Awesome test. All three are great calibers. I would tend to agree that the 357 won this test, if for no other reason than it was probably a little cheaper to buy than the other two. The ballistic performance was surprisingly similar but I think the jug or not shows that the 44 magnum is in a class of its own. I feel like that particular load was middle of the road for power for a 44 and the 357 and 10mm were pretty high end for caliber, and it clearly did more damage, even out of a 4” barrel. As far as accuracy goes the 10 looked better on paper but I feel like that was more to do with the gun malfunctions than anything. On the “charge”test the 357 was the clear winner. Good test. I have 4” 686+ and 69 too. I love them. Keep it up. I look forward to more test involving the model 69 especially.

Probably the best and cheapest red dot host option out there with the rock solid weig-a-tinny mount that replaces the rear sight. $50 for the mount and $50 for the bushnell clone red dot is a drop in the bucket compared to getting a slide cut for $200 and a slide ride micro red dot for $250.

Even though I'm a revolver guy, I'm going to say that a good 10mm that's reliable and with high capacity might be the best option. It's a tough call though. The 357 is second, but only if you have a 7 or 8 round cylinder. Being attacked by a wild animal will give you little time to react and cause you to panic, so having higher capacity to counter the mistakes involved in that will help tremendously. Third is the 44 mag. Only 6 rounds causes an issue with being effective against predatory animals. You only have a short time to make effective shots, especially if you were stalked and pounced upon. 44 mag is probably the best option against a kodiak or a grizzly bear, because it has enough power and weight to crack open the skull, but considering all the wild animals that can attack you, the other guns will probably be better because of capacity. Just my thoughts on the matter.

Thanks for watching. I don't think I ever hand loaded the 147 gr XTP and haven't hand loaded 9mm at all in several years. On the Hodgedon website there's a ton of data on the 147 gr XTP. www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/pistol

My glock 20 also jams with that same load, even with a 20lb guide rod spring. I carry 180 grain xtp handloads at 1300 fps.

So far the only ammo that has been jam-free for me has been Speer Gold Dot and Winchester Defender.

I'd choose the 10mm just because it's semiautomatic.
