This video demonstrates the concept of skipping a bullet off steel plates. The experiment aims to show that a projectile can indeed bounce off a steel target and hit a secondary target. The presenter emphasizes the importance of understanding projectile behavior when shooting steel.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of 300 Winchester Magnum ammunition against various steel targets. The presenter, demonstrating expertise in firearms and ballistics, aims to debunk claims of a 300 Win Mag round penetrating a 1/2 inch AR550 steel target. The tests reveal that standard Federal Fusion rounds do not penetrate the AR550, while a faster 150-grain Federal Power-Shock round does cause a pass-through on AR500 steel, highlighting the importance of steel quality and specifications.

This guide details a ballistic test comparing the steel penetration capabilities of .308 Winchester and 7.62x51mm NATO cartridges. Conducted by Banana Ballistics host, the experiment uses controlled variables and custom tools to measure impact depth on steel plates at 50 yards. The results indicate that 7.62 NATO demonstrated superior penetration over .308 Winchester, a finding attributed to potential differences in bullet construction rather than advertised velocity or energy.

This review from Kentucky Ballistics features an enthusiastic assessment of the Smith & Wesson 460 Magnum Performance Center snub nose revolver. The instructor, Scott, demonstrates its impressive power and versatility across multiple calibers (.460 S&W Magnum, .454 Casull, .45 Colt) through various tests, including steel targets and ballistic effects on produce. His high-energy presentation and clear expertise in handling large-bore handguns make this an informative watch for experienced firearm enthusiasts.
