how much energy is lost at a mile shot?
This video from Edwin Sarkissian demonstrates the significant energy loss of a 6.5 PRC round at one mile. Through experimental testing using HardieBacker boards and BulletSafe body armor, Sarkissian, who exhibits high authority in practical firearms testing, shows how a round that easily penetrates multiple barriers at close range is significantly slowed and stopped by the same barriers at extreme distances. The experiment highlights the dramatic impact of distance on projectile energy and terminal ballistics.
