This guide details a test comparing the impact of TulAmmo 5.56x45mm and M193 ammunition on AR500 steel targets. The test, conducted by Karl Kasarda from InRangeTV, reveals that TulAmmo, with its zinc-washed bimetal jacket, causes significantly less damage (shallow pockmarks) than M193, which features a copper jacketed lead core and creates deeper craters. The expert emphasizes strict adherence to range safety rules, particularly regarding safe distances for engaging steel targets, based on a decade of observation in competitive shooting matches.
