This video details the creation and testing of a custom 'M80A1 Short Mag' load by chambering a military M80A1 bullet in a .300 WSM cartridge. The custom load achieved significantly higher velocities (3587 FPS vs 3043 FPS) and energy compared to the standard 7.62x51 M80A1. Testing against various steel plates demonstrated the projectile's penetration capabilities, with the Short Mag load outperforming the standard in some scenarios but failing to penetrate 1-inch mild steel.

This video details a warranty claim investigation for a TA Targets AR550 reduced C-zone target plate that sustained a hole. Through rigorous ballistic testing with various ammunition types, including M855A1, M80A1, and M2 Armor Piercing rounds, the instructor demonstrates the exceptional durability of the AR550 steel. The tests conclude that the original damage was likely caused by a much larger caliber or specialized armor-piercing round, not the customer's stated .300 Win Mag, reinforcing the product's robust nature and lifetime warranty.

This video tests the durability of Exodus Line steel targets against AP (Armor Piercing) ammunition, specifically M80A1 and M855A1 rounds. The description emphasizes that the AR550 steel targets are resistant to these rounds, though it strongly advises against such testing. The video also promotes various target systems from TA Targets, including Exodus, A-DAP, and Genesis lines, with discount codes and special offers available.

This video details a test of specialized ammunition, including M855A1, M80A1, and M2 rounds, against various steel targets. The creator emphasizes the engineering behind safe shooting with these potent rounds, ensuring both the shooter and targets remain intact. The video highlights the performance of AR550 and AR500 steel targets at different thicknesses when subjected to armor-piercing ammunition. Links are provided for purchasing TA Targets, including budget-friendly options and high-performance systems like the Mini A-DAP and Dueling Tree. Night vision gear and apparel are also promoted, with a discount code available. The video includes a table of contents for easy navigation through the test results.

This video from TA Targets compares the durability of their "Exodus" and "Genesis" steel target systems when subjected to armor-piercing rounds. The manufacturer, with a decade of experience, aims to demonstrate the superior quality and longevity of their targets, urging viewers to invest in a quality system. The video highlights specific test scenarios, including a "forward lean" test on the Exodus system, and references the AR550 and AR500 steel used in their products. They also provide discount codes and links to purchase their different target lines.

This video tests the effectiveness of various expensive and rare ammunition types against AR500 steel targets. Rounds like the 7.62 SLAP and .338 Lapua Magnum demonstrated significant armor-piercing capabilities, while others, including the costly M995, failed to penetrate thick steel despite high velocities. The tests highlight the trade-offs between projectile construction, velocity, energy, and actual penetration power against hardened steel.

This video rigorously tests the M80A1 .308 projectile against various steel targets, demonstrating its superior penetration compared to standard M80 rounds and many other AP projectiles. While it penetrates 3/4-inch mild steel and 3/8-inch AR500 steel, it is stopped by 1-inch mild steel. The M80A1 also shows impressive performance against concrete backed by steel.

This YouTube video conducts a reduced velocity gel test of the MK319 7.62mm projectile, comparing it to the Army's M80A1. The test involves loading the MK319 into a .300 AAC Blackout case and firing it from an 8-inch upper into calibrated 10% ordnance gelatin. The description also provides a link to a separate reduced velocity gel test of the M80A1 and links to the creator's social media profiles.

This video conducts a gel test to evaluate the long-range performance potential of the U.S. Army's M80A1 EPR projectile. The M80A1 round was loaded into a .300 AAC Blackout case and fired from an 8-inch upper receiver into calibrated 10% ordnance gelatin to analyze its terminal ballistics.
