This test evaluates how different .308 Winchester bullet types perform against various thicknesses of mild steel. Results show that while most standard bullets penetrate 1/4 inch steel, performance varies significantly on 3/8 inch and thicker plates. Specialized armor-piercing rounds demonstrate superior penetration capabilities, highlighting the impact of bullet construction and material on terminal ballistics against hard targets.
This video compares the performance of 14 different 6.5 Creedmoor bullet types and weights when impacting mild steel at 50 yards. The test utilizes A529 Grade 55 mild steel and highlights how bullet construction significantly influences terminal ballistics. The ammunition features new, heavily blemished brass and pulled projectiles, some of which are typically only found in factory loads. The creators emphasize that these tests are for entertainment and educational purposes only and strongly advise viewers not to replicate them due to the inherent dangers of shooting steel.
