Speed KILLS Steel

This video demonstrates the impact of 300 Win Mag ammunition on an AR500 steel target at a close distance of 110 yards. The instructor highlights that this range is closer than recommended for magnum calibers, advising 200 yards or more. The test reveals significant damage to the steel, with one round penetrating and another slicing through, underscoring the power of the ammunition and the risks associated with shooting magnum calibers at insufficient distances.

This video from TA Targets details an unusual warranty claim involving a steel target with a large penetration hole. The manufacturer's representative, demonstrating high expertise in ballistics and steel properties, analyzes the damage. They conclude that the hole was likely caused by a .50 BMG Mk 211 Mod 0 (Raufoss) round, not the customer's claimed .300 Win Mag, despite the customer's assertion. TA Targets ultimately replaced the target as a gesture of customer support, highlighting their commitment to service even when the damage isn't a manufacturing defect.
