I Created A Military Bullet On Steroids
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.
