Excellent Video 👍 I remember shooting these in the early 70's out of a mod 36 and the mod. 60. It was a heavier jhp and they were pretty stout. I think the weight of these two revolvers each, was just under 20 oz. I remember a pawn shop owner was robbed and as the robber drove away the pawn shop owner shot a few rounds in the back of the big Cadillac. The vehicle was recovered about five miles from the scene. I was surprised that two rounds went thru the chrome rear bumper and one round thru the threads of the rear tire causing a blow out. The victim was shooting a mod.60 snubby, this was also in the early 1970's.

If it were these rounds I could imagine. The literature with this ammo admittedly says that the early rounds from decades ago were not pressure tested the way that the modern ones are. Even these new ones seemed to not expand much but still cause damage, I will have to shoot through my metal ballistics box and see what they do. Thanks for watching!

I went through a couple of boxes of .38 +P Super Snub. I concur... it is like a .357-lite. Fierce recoil and lots of muzzle flash out of a snub barrel. I did chrono very close to what they advertise. I liked it out of a 4" steel K frame (a model 64), and got around 1630 fps from it. The SuperVel is a mean .38 Spl round.

Yes I have gotten as much as a 5 shot average of 1,652 FPS in a 4". But other times I have gotten 5 shot averages in a 4" of 1,570 FPS. I weighed an empty brass case and was surprised as it was significantly heavier than other .38 Special brass. To me this doesn't really make much sense as .38 Special brass can essentially take on .357 Magnum pressure and be fine, but i'm sure there is a reason for it, I suspect that even at low pressure the way the powder burns probably expands the case more than average.

When Super Vel came onto the scene we thought is was the right cartridge to replace the department issued 158 grain RNL. After a few trips to the range it showed great potential but the velocity variation in shot to shot comparison ruled it out. Some rounds were real performers yet others felt like squibs. We eventually switched to .357 with 158 grain JHP.

I was really expecting a third jug catch. The velocities are too inconsistent for my taste. I'm still not a fan of the ultralight bullets. I bet almost all the recoil you felt was from the jet of propellent gasses coming out the muzzle rather than the bullet itself. The jug and wood tests would probably come up different with a different round of the same stuff since the energy range is all over the place. I believe heavier bullets can be loaded with better consistency. I would pick a proper magnum load over that. The Critical Duty 135gr is not too bad out of a snubbie. I haven't tried the Critical Defense 125gr yet. Have you made any progress in diagnosing or fixing the problem you had with the ARX out of the snubbie yet?
@GunSam
@GunSam 6 жыл бұрын
I was dropping .357" bullets through my cylinder after it was cleaned up. There is one chamber where the bullet does not drop free. This does not explain why two of the ARX bullets in a row fragmented, but I suspect this has something to do with it. It would be interesting to get a 4" velocity test, because with a 90 grain, if I seen more than a 200 FPS difference, to me this would suggest that the company did nothing more than super pack those cartridges with powder rather than using a fast burning powder the way that Speer seems to do. All in all, the bullet weight that seems to have to most consistency in all of my testing for expansion in a snubby is a 110 gr at about 1,000 fps, which is very doable in a snubby, and I have seen happen many times.

@@Fudmottin I have always noticed that the bullet takes on as much damage as what it hits often times. Heavier of same caliber is long, more sectional density, so there's more base to hold up, more base to not be damaged. The tip construction is the big factor. Now with FMJ of all weights, that's where the whole momentum and tumbling or lack thereof comes into play. It's all an amazing science. Still to this day however I am still drawn into the mystical powers of the .45 ACP. I know half of the myths are just that, but I still love it.

That weight at about 1,000 FPS have always been the best performers with pretty much any hollow point design.

wow!!! what a screamer!! wonder what it would do out of your 686, did it feel like a grenade going off in your hand? i remember a company did the same for the .357 mag using a 90gn bullet back in the 80's but didnt take off i think for the same reason super vel 38s in the same loading there was just way too much air space in the case causing way to much deviation, but it was designed for close range impact and not long for range accuracy, of course the 9mm having a shorter case compacting the powder charge with no air space for a much better standard deviation being lower and accuracy. now as far as penetration goes.. if the bullet was designed with a rapid expanding soft bullet the velocity would have turn that bullet into bits of frags without much penetration when impacting the water jugs...so yes the bullet held up under that high velocity and i can see why super vel design their bullet that way, its not like a 380 hollow point where it expands fast at lower velocities so on a defensive stand point id rather have the velocity shock wave do more terminal damage than relying on the hollow point to expand and the bullet reaching deep to hit vitals.

If you ever fired a .357 2" gun I don't think you would feel the same. - 50 years ago (Was it really that long) I carried a Steel Frame BodyGuard as my offduty pistolla when I was on the job and most of us used the original 100 Gr SuperVels in both our Mod 10s and off duty guns. I never thought the recoil was all that bad in either one but I once fired my friends .357 Derringer and WHOLEY SHIT! Like a grande going off in your hand. These days when I carry a gun it's a Mod 638 Airweight. I have only ever fired 158 Gr +P from it but even at my age I have no problem with the recoil. I don't see SuperVels being much different. Fact is since they don't make .38 Glasers I think SVs will be my next move. No complaints from anybody I know about the old ones. I do still have a Mod 13 (Mod 10 Heavy Barrel in .357) but I have only ever shot it one time and that was with .38 range rounds, but I'm betting the recoil is about the same or less then the Airweight with full .357 +P rounds. (Cheap Prick Slovenian here and I don't think I will ever spend the money on .357 rounds just to see the recoil of the Mod 13. Bad enough to pay for reload wadcutters 🥴) Bottom line. .357 is for only when it's "for real"
