This barrier test compares 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Winchester using various materials like lumber, sand, concrete, and steel. While 6.5 Creedmoor penetrated lumber better, .308 Winchester showed superior performance against thicker steel plates, creating deeper craters. Both calibers were stopped by sand, and both penetrated concrete, leading to mixed results and a personal preference for .308 Winchester by the host for barrier penetration.

This video provides a comprehensive ballistic test of Hornady Critical Duty 9mm Luger 135 grain FlexLock ammunition against various hard barriers, including wood, glass, steel, and concrete. The tests, conducted by an experienced instructor, demonstrate the ammunition's 'barrier blind' design, showing its ability to penetrate these materials while maintaining terminal performance in ballistics gel. The concrete test proved the most challenging, resulting in fragmentation, while other barriers showed varying degrees of expansion and penetration.
