The folks behind "Forgotten Weapons" got their hands on some Soviet 7.62x54R "PZ" and German 7.92x57mm B-patrone explosive ammo, and decided to do some (crude) tests to see if they lived up to the hype. I have no idea what 'ballistic soap' is, or how it compares to correct ballistic gel, but it's still interesting to see how the loads perform compared to ball ammo.
I would love to see proper testing on this ammo, if only to put it into perspective compared to modern projectiles. I've seen similar exit wounds while shooting whitetail deer with 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tips from my .308 Model Seven, for instance, and with our modern preference for penetration, I'm curious as to how these old 'marking cartridges' would fare.
