Nice, love the .40 and carry the UW 135gr JHP In my G27 Gen5. The .40 is under appreciated by most, sadly. For those wondering, 1500 fps with a 135gr .40 isn't a big deal, Hodgdon load data shows just shy of 1500 fps from a 4" barrel and I've done it. Yeah 1500 fps from a 5" seems high to many, but it's closer to "true" .40 S&W potential than what is typically offered (~1350 fps). The .40 ain't no joke. A note on that 357 SIG, 124gr usually denotes a .355" bullet designed for 9mm velocities, that's probably why it broke up so bad, whereas 125gr .355" bullets are usually designed for 357 SIG.
The 135gr .40 has low sectional density and the Nosler bullet is pretty basic which causes fragmenting at those speeds and effects penetration. The 357 SIG bullet (a 9mm JHP) is being pushed a bit faster than it should be for optimal penetration. Either one would no doubt be effective.
Incredible!!! The most impressive loads in 40 S&W & 357 Sig I can remember seeing on the channel! These 2 rounds may be unsurvivable, They are both more impressive in stretch and tear as any 357 Mag ammo I've seen in real Knox gel. When looking at the slo Mo footage they both look like hot defense loads from a 5.56 rifle
Told yall 10mm was pointless! .40 SW properly loaded is the SHIT! Thanks AZ, next maybe do Underwood .40SW 155 grain XTP vs Underwood 10mm 155 grain XTP
Haha you definitely don't know much about guns 10mm is pointless that 40 round was over pressured the chances of getting another 40 load that hot other than hand loading it is slim to none don't get me wrong I love 40 I have one but please don't try to put it in 10 mm category because it's not even close
Outstanding! Both are equally devastating! They both just dumped a boatload of energy early and still jacked things up for much of their travel. The 40 impressively held it's own here but all things considered we might give the edge to the 357. But it isn't much difference. The 40 gets the win for expansion size and likely remained weight. It did give the advantage in energy #s in this test. I run a 4.25" M&P 40 so I will lose a bit of velocity and energy. Great test as always and equally great results. Many thanks.
Thank you sir, always appreciated!! I will be doing a shorty barrel test with them both here soon, so we will see how that goes🤔. Ur right though, both were just nasty in the gel. Either way ya go would be a great option.
My word, both of those rounds are devastating. Az, if you were to look at the slow-mo's you would swear you are looking at the impact and result from a 5.56 rifle shot. That that damage came from a handgun is exceptionally impressive. I know that the "one shot stop" adage is overused however I think a hit from either one of those rounds would not be survivable. Excellent work as usual, AZ.
Right you are , sir. And that's exactly why I switched to the “lowly” 9mm for my edc emergency defense tool. I don't want a prosecuting attorney convincing a firearms ignorant jury that I used a weapon with such devastating power that the bad guy could never survive the wound, therefore my intention, and plan was to brutally kill any person that I shot. I know….to you and me that is total BS. But make no mistake, the prosecution will use whatever tricks, deception, lies, and smoke and mirrors it takes to convince a jury that I never intended to just stop the attack. I became a self appointed judge, jury AND executioner. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury….this man (pointing at me) is a vigilante, who thinks he can take the law into his own hands and kill a man before that man is found guilty of the alleged crime. Yeah…surviving the physical attack is the easy part. Surviving the legal attack not so much. A person could face financial ruin just trying to stay out of prison during the criminal lawsuit, but then the family of the attacker will bring a civil lawsuit, which could very likely involve paying restitution to the family. Sound far fetched? In the absence of video or eye witnesses, it's just my word against the corrupt legal system. Worse case scenario….the attacker has no criminal history. Now you're really screwed.
Thank you brotha I appreciate it!! I hear ya, both were wicked. I think I will actually put one or both of these up against a shoty barrel 5.56 to see how it compares, prolly no difference. Was a fun one for sure. Thanks again bro, always appreciate u checkin em out!!
Throw in a 10" 300 Blackout 203gr subsonic Gorilla Controlled Chaos just for grins and giggles. Then a 125gr Hornady Black for comparison. Thank you for what you do.
Man you just proved what a lot of “mature” shooters have known for decades, 357 Sig and 40 S&W are in the exact same power category! Absolutely wonderful test!!!! Both rounds have the same parent cartridge and designed with the same goal in mind!! 6 of 1…..1/2 dozen of the other!!! Beautiful!!!!!😎😎😎😎😎😎

My two preferred cartridges. That 40SW seems way too hot. Underwood's quality control seems questionable. I had a split case with an Underwood 357 Sig 65 Gr Extreme Defender. I've also seen tests where they also seemed under loaded.
It's probably fine, I've ran 135gr in a 4" G23 to 1500 fps using book Longshot load data, so 1500 fps from a 5" is fine. It's just faster than what most people associate with .40 S&W, which is only slightly less powerful than 10mm.
@@bobjones-bt9bh Compared to this 135gr it wouldn’t have the speed for this type of explosive devastation. Would no doubt go deeper but the depth of the 135gr is more than enough to stop the threat and the initial impact would have better one shot stop probability, shot placement aside. I would go with the 135gr over the 150gr.
Great results, love your tests! I'd be curious to see how the 40 compares in this weight to underwoods other loadings in 40, like a side by side comparison 135gr, 165, 180, etc. Those noslers seem to do pretty good even at lower velocities from 9mm.
Thank you very much, I appreciate u checkin em out!! I will test a few others here soon. Just happened upon those at a local shop so had to get em for a test. Next order I put in I'll make sure to grab a few different gr weights. Ur right though, the nosler's always seem to perform really well. Thanks again, plenty comin 😁👍.
I’m definitely starting to develop a fondness for these Noslers. Can you imagine what these would do inside the chest cavity of an attacker. It would definitely get their attention. Another great video sir.
👍🏾Awesome test Dude! Those Light for caliber 135 grain Underwood .40 loads at 1500 FPS thats INSANE!!! 10mm ballistics and would easily completely Flip a Full size Mack truck with all that muzzle energy close range💥💯
I converted my H&K VP40 to 357 sig. I've shot many rounds of both and either are very effective. I think I still like 357 sig more and those are the rounds I carry. The testing I've done with them blew my mind,so much power out of a handgun and super reliable which nobody ever mentions.
The 40cal/135gr Nosler is a long-time fav of many. I discovered it when UW was out of stock on its 357sig/125gr gold dots. Very comparable on paper and, even though UW isn't now loading GDs, it's nice to see this gel test of 2 Noslers. I am, however, more than a little surprised on the 40/135's speed when its published speed is 1400fps. Not surprised at the signs of over-pressure on the case.
Great video! After seeing that casing over pressure ill stick with 357sig. Also if some jackass shoots at you from 200 yards you can defend yourselves 😂
Just happened to notice at the 2:02 mark where the primer flow is shown, the case says Underwood 40 S&W? What happened to Starline brass what's up with the Underwood brass and who makes it?
Man those are some hot rounds. The 40 S&w seems damn near dangerous to the user. I sure wouldn't be firing that round in my Sub 2000. I could see a box or two for my pistols though. 135 grainers are cool for .40 if you're after power, but tend to under-penetrate since the sectional density is so low.
Thank you!! No sir don't have any rifle length pistol calibers, but will be doing a few different rifle calibers here soon. Just trying to get a few others done and out of the way now. Thanks again, I appreciate ya!!
That primer bulge is a deal killer for me, at least with that batch of 135gr .40s. Luckily my 135 grs are from a different batch and hopefully loaded to a safer pressure. Then the 5 inch barrel is going to increase the velocity as well. I suspect that out of 4 and 4.5 inch barrels a normal pressure batch would be very close to the advertised 1400 fps mark. At this velocity and higher the 357 Sig shows no signs of over pressure.
Either of these would qualify as a "STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW!" antipersonnel round. Visually it seems the 357 Sig was a little more violent in its terminal performance but it's doubtful a thug or ME could tell a difference.
Not even in the same ball park. As far as it holding together, the hst definitely does better, but it's also only getting around 370~380ish ft/lbs. Compared to the almost 700 here.

If the .40 had overpressure signs, I would not bet on its bolt thrust staying in the design limits of regular firearms. This makes the round problematic - practice with it may wear the gun out pretty quickly. Plus there is the risk of kaboom - .40 guns are notorious for their unsupported chambers. I wonder how many sigma confidence level was established in the safety tests. The .357 Sig round looks much closer to its caliber specs, plus the bottleneck obviates the need for an unsupported chamber. Along with the results in gel this shows how bad of an idea a straight walled case is in semi-automatics.
I find it hilarious when I hear folks say there's no difference between wounding capabilities between different calibers. Ain't no 9mm doing anything close to these two
Nah, people don't realize that with the right powder you can get way more out of the .40 than what most people think. Hodgdon powder shows a 135gr JHP just shy of 1500 fps from a 4 inch barrel and it's several thousand PSI under max.
Good test but it just goes to show: SPEER, GET OFF YOUR BUTTS AND GET THOSE GOLD DOTS BACK OUT INTO THE WILD! Personally I think both of these are right on the edge of fail as neither one penetrated to my personal minimum of 16 to 18." I would pick the Sig as the winner here, even if just by a bit. These are great if all your defense shot are straight on but I don't think real life works that way. These might be ok for home defense since they are both so explosive on impact. I think it was Marshall & Sanow that pointed out that fragments left in the wound track contribute nothing to wounding, only those that veer off the track have the ability to cause secondary wounds off the track... which is exactly what the Sig round did, which is why I give it the edge. Everyone has their own standards and truthfully, I wouldn't feel bad with either of these rounds in my pistol... that would be if I had a 40 or 357 Sig, which I do not! Great test, keep up the great work! Cheers, jc
