Ok, there's a lot wrong here.
First, the first video is for 55gr ftx.
Second, clear ballistic get is not FBI calibrated ballistic gelatin.
Third, you ignored two videos from Andrew at the chopping block, who used 16" and 10.5" barrels with fbi calibrated ballistic gelatin.
Fourth, and most importantly, in every video test, in about every barrel length used, the round either failed the fbi requirements, or just ever so slightly passed by the skin of it's teeth.
You claimed "it shows very good results in shorter barrels" and yet every video posted and test I've read about since the round came out shows that it either doesn't perform or barely passes the minimum requirement.
It's not a good self defense round, but it's better than (and I'd happily use it in place of) foul language and throwing whatever object I can get my hands on within arm's reach.
ETA: I am not trying to personally attack you. I do not think you're a moron or some crap like that. I am just trying to inform you and anyone else reading about Hornady's 73gr Critical Duty that it's a poor performer at best. It's still a bullet and will still put a hole in shit, but it's not going to give you optimal terminal performance, and that's what you should be looking for in a dedicated self defense round that you're paying premium self defense round prices for.
