This video from TA Targets tests the durability of their 3/8 inch AR500 Genesis C-Zone steel target against armor-piercing rounds, specifically M855A1 and 30 caliber black tip AP. While the AR500 plate shows significant resistance, it is explicitly not rated for AP rounds. The test demonstrates that M855A1 rounds deform the plate, while 30 caliber AP rounds cause a pass-through and deep gouging, highlighting the limitations of even high-quality AR500 steel against specialized ammunition.
