300 Blackout vs 5.56: NOT Even Close?

On this episode of Ultimate Barrier Testing, we will be comparing the performance of the 300 Blackout to the 5.56x45 on 4 different targets. Each target is worth 25 points, for a grand total of 100 points. Whichever cartridge ends up with the highest score will be the winner. Testing was setup at 50 yards. Thanks for watching!

Speed beats hard targets, mass beats soft barriers. Everything has tradeoffs.

[@nemisous83]

Eh I'm regards to 5.56 it loses way too much velocity over distance to be considered effective at hard barrier penetration even on steel targets. At 100 meters it's pretty much shed 25% of it's energy.

[@TrashAnyway]

​@@nemisous83it doesn't even lose 25% at 200 yards. That being said, 5.56 was never meant to deliver the same energy as 308. It was always a compromise of better capacity and a lighter weight weapon at the expense of energy on target, compared to previous infantry cartridges.

[@TTime685]

M855 would've easily won this.. The material used and it's density is a factor as well.. not just velocity, mass, or volume alone

[@woodlanditguy2951]

Yeah, I have reloaded 300 blackout with 110gn FMJ bullets all the way up to 230gn FMJ bullets. Then you got boat tail, soft points, hollow points... the list goes on and on... With .223, you have 40gn - 90gn and numerous variations as well. When using 40gn bullets, you need a different barrel twist than a 90gn bullet as the 90gn will be about 2 1/2 times longer than the shortest .223 bullets... Basically, you can make the stats say what ever you want them to say if you compare the wrong bullets in the wrong guns. Personally, I prefer the 300 blackout primarily due to powder availability, ease of reloading and the ability to convert .223 casings into 300 blackout casings. Both are great rounds when properly used.

Nothing wrong with that, but that is the common level of understanding within the gun community.

[@CrashRacknShoot]

It can be a lot cheaper with some elbow grease and a new hobby. Get some once fired .223/5.56 brass, a reloading press, dies, mini chop saw, brass prep tools, etc. And you can have your own .300 BO for pretty cheap. Not an endeavor for the impatient types, though.

[@louiscapasso4452]

[@josephmatuszak3855]

Depends on Range and Mission. Period. 300 Blackout does not have the same trajectory to reach out and touch a fool. But can be ultra lethal in sub 200M and under light discipline (night op, etc)

[@intensity75]

The other thing to consider is that most rain will have trees hills buildings, and rarely will you be able to shoot out to 200 m and with the 556 you have to worry about that bullet continuing on where is the 300 blackout is less likely to penetrate anything past your desired target.

[@jasonsierchio1167]

I think 300blk is supreme for urban environments

[@sfbeninati320]

I think a better representation of comparing the two would be to use say a Lehigh defense 110 TME or a Barnes 110 Tac Tx and whatever similar qualities of a bullet into a 556 62gr or so. The big subs in 300 blk weren't designed to beat out the 556 AR but to replace the MP5SD for a number of reasons. Which many would agree is a no contest especially with 1:5 twist sub 9" barrels. But a 12.5" or so 300 Blk with Supers versus a 12.5" 556 AR (keep in mind most run a 10.3 or 11.5" when SBR'n a 556 AR) then we have a better comparison to go off of. Thanks for the video though I know its a lot of work to make these for us viewers.

[@glennllewellyn7369]

Son and I each grabbed 2 deer last night. He used the 300 Blk 110 Vmax and I used the 223(556) 55sp. The 300 smashed them the 223 didn't. Simples. Australia

Great ballistic content........ can you chronograph some different 9mm ammo out of a 3.5" vs 16" barreled guns(glock26 - keltec sub2000), specifically the 50 grain super fast liberty civil defense ammo and maybe show the difference in effectiveness of each round on different mediums from the two different barrel lengths, that would be an awesome video

[@djuice1701]

Could you make .300 blackout more destructive to barriers by handloading, M80A1 or M2AP? Or does the limited case capacity not produced enough velocity to make them anymore effective than standard 110/125gr FMJs?

[@jamesfrankiewicz5768]

For sand penetration, momentum (mass x velocity) seems to be the deciding factor. There's some other folks on KZbin who have tested arrows on sandbags (in general, they penetrate sand far better than bullets), and their results seemed to follow the momentum computation.

[@quietus13]

Momentum yes, but more importantly the mass component of it as it is constant even at rest. As the projectile enters a medium like gel it slows very quickly and therefore its momentum collapses. A projectile with similar momentum but with much more mass will retain more momentum as it penetrates. This is why heavy for caliber rounds typically go deeper and big game hunters favor heavy solids for deep penetration.

@@jrowinski82that’s not fully true. Full performance is around 16-18in barrels. It loses less velocity than .556 out of shorter barrels because the cartridge design allows the powder to burn faster.

Seems the last test was compromised considering the .300 BLK round hit the wood before the target. I still enjoyed the video because it validates something I have been preaching for years.

Great vids. Need more variety in projectiles used. Fort Scott Munitions 300 BO 115 grain solid copper would blow through more steel I would wager.

[@simon_says_shhh]

Yeah, Banana is terrible at picking 300blk . I think he has zero idea that with 30pblk your picking from dozens of ultra specific bullet characteristics vs a general purpose worldwide round.

[@Yuracirlce]

It would be nice to know the which brand of bullet is being used

[@butziporsche8646]

Green Tips would make quick work of that 1/4" plate

[@HatsuneM1ku01]

No, green tips are going slower. You need speed to get through steel. 55g will go through 3+ but green tips do not. Green tips were designed for barrier penetration aka glass, thin metal, concrete etc. but not steel plates or body armor that requires speed for penetration

[@davidmiller3211]

What bullet grain is the 300 BO used here?

[@DarkSlayer487]

Hoping you do another one of these with 77gr 5.56 and 110gr 300blk.

[@timelliott6036]

What was the weight of the bullets? I have seen 110 to 220 grain 300blk bullets.
