Chewy?

Thanks. I moved up to our rifle range for newer videos, but I do have quite the ever growing dirt berm behind :D

1. This SMHK load is VERY Hot. You won't find other 196gr loads in 8mm moving this fast. 2. Tungsten construction. Most modern AP loads are a form of Tungsten Carbide which tend to excel at steel/metallic barrier penetration. SMKH uses Tungsten Heavy Alloy (85% Tungsten 6% Nickel, 4% copper) that a few subject matter experts believe is less likely to fragment and shatter on impact. The core is quite long as well, so if the strike face can't degrade it, there's a good chance it's going through.. Here is the same SMKH smoking an Alumina plate at 100 yds: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXnXdZdtmr16otE

Sorry I should have use a sharper object as I'm pointing to the round my finger touches, not the the round the finger nail is pointing to :D

@@BuffRANGE 😂😂😂 that’s alright after watching it a couple times I got it ! My fingers are the same lol

6.5 Creedmoor is primarily a hunting/target round. There is not a wide fielding of Military style loads. This plate is stopping 30 caliber threats at 300 WinMag velocities. Effectively to these materials the available 6.5 CM rounds are like .308 ball.

@BuffRANGE yes but many militaries (us included) dmrs and snipers are beginning to use creedmoor, and with the popularity of it civilian side it may be worth at the very least looking at. Plus, with higher velocity and less surface area it may pen what 30 cal doesn't

no :( Only will move the action back to put the brass dummy rounds in.

Videos*

Gotta highlight these beautiful and exotic rounds when able too :D

Well at 30* warmer temps and some elevation sure :D What kind of climate to you live in?

@@BuffRANGE Iin southern Pennsylvania near the Maryland border. Thnx also I wanted to know what ammo do you think has the best penetration out of 16 inch barrel?

@@ericshindler5829 Best penetration as in deepest? Or the most terminally effective? Are you intending it for SD/PP/HD or hunting?

@@BuffRANGE actually for home defense your thoughts…

@@JustAnotherPaddy they will not sell FA carriers in any mass unless likely you were to contact them. Their uppers and parts have been in full swing for 1yr + now

@@BuffRANGE since you’re the ruling champ 5.7 guy, would be cool if you could do an interview with them. I’m a huge fan of their rifles. In retrospect, I feel like their product was a bit too far ahead of the 5.7 curve and the market we are now in.

I'd have to find out how to actually get ahold of people who own AR57. I've talked a bit with the current machine shop responsible for their production, but they are not the owners of the company..

Because people apply broad and sweeping generalizations and don't do research from sources who have actual reliable data :D

I’m wondering if they discontinued it and only sell the 80gr version. They have restricted brass version

True. I use the 22” to remove as much of my inexperience as possible.

For loading them ?

@@BuffRANGE Yes. I have heard others say that their seater stems contact right where the penetrator meets the copper jacket and that cause some inconsistency in the seating.

25/25 per box. bud’s has it www.avantlink.com/click.php?tool_type=cl&merchant_id=ea2bd0c0-21c3-4a50-8f80-a04cc7b5668b&website_id=071ca37f-94b4-43fc-91ff-97bbc3cb0fe3&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.budsgunshop.com%2Fproduct_info.php%2Fproducts_id%2F140651%2Fhorn%2B90000%2Bcritdef%2B5.7x28%2Bxx%2Bftx%2B25%2B10

Only metallic IIIa can stop it, it’s basically a level III threat. You can buy it on GunBroker for $4-6/rd :0

@@BuffRANGE damn lol pricey

IMO The FRAS isn't built as high of quality as the HEXAR here. The HEXAR IMO held it's shape better over multi hits than the FRAS.

You are very welcome!

Either one will get the job done. 300 PRC is more modern design.

@@BuffRANGE The thing is, I'm seriously going to war so I want to make sure between these two in terms of speed/power/range. Is 300 win mag or 300 prc better?

??

Hanlin plates are better than AR500

I didn't know they existed. I'm guessing they are a copper expander? The Atomic Ammo is SPENDY :D I'd be interested in trying out the 111gr.

@@BuffRANGE They just came out actually. Check Midway USA. If that's the case I'll try sending some your way if that's alright?

Nice!

Pretty much :D

The 12" min is to ensure reaching vitals no matter the angle. There's some new supporting documentation that has some data on calculating a tumbling rounds wound volume, and that may change my perspective on SS198LF. However a lot of dept and agencies seemed disappointed in the performance of 5.7 using FN"s duty ammo, and even SS190 is penetration limited to 10". Perhaps that lack of 12"+ is why it was poorly received, or FN just over sold it's capabilities and compared it too much to 5.56.
