This video tests if a Level 3A soft body armor vest can stop a 6.5 PRC sniper round fired from one mile away. Surprisingly, the vest successfully stopped the rounds at this extreme distance due to significant energy loss over the mile. However, the same vest was easily penetrated by the 6.5 PRC round at close range, highlighting the limitations of soft armor against rifle calibers.

The .277 SIG Fury cartridge, developed for a U.S. Army contract, offers superior downrange energy and lighter soldier loads. Its innovative three-piece hybrid case design, featuring a stainless steel head, allows for pressures exceeding 80,000 PSI. This enables velocities of 3,000-3,200 FPS and significantly more energy at 1,000 yards compared to cartridges like the 6.5 Creedmoor.
