This video from Demolition Ranch features Matt Carriker conducting an experiment to test the hardness of a heat-treated steel anvil against a regular steel anvil using various calibers, including .300 Win Mag, .338 Lapua Magnum, .408 CheyTac, and .50 BMG. The Nemo Arms Omen rifle equipped with a Vortex Razor HD scope is used for much of the testing. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the hardened surface against high-powered rounds, highlighting the importance of material science in terminal ballistics.

This guide details an expert-level durability test comparing various high-caliber firearms against a 55lb cast iron anvil. The experiment, conducted by Kentucky Ballistics, highlights the destructive power of .50 BMG APIT and API rounds, which caused significant structural damage, while other calibers like .338 Lapua and .308 Winchester created superficial craters. The assessment emphasizes the anvil's remarkable toughness and the specific performance differences between ammunition types and rifle platforms.
