In today's video, we will see what kind of difference there is in the performance of M855A1, M855, SS109, and XM193 on mild steel. All steel testing was setup at 50 yards using A529 gr55 mild steel and a 3/8" thick AR500 Plate. Thanks for watching!
*These tests are meant for entertainment and educational purposes only. Shooting steel can be dangerous, so do not try any of these tests at home!

Great test. I’d prefer a 20” barrel - I think the velocities for these rounds diverge from how they behave out of standard AR-15 barrel lengths. They are probably all still faster, but by varying amounts. I suspect the 855a1 is comparatively even better than the others out of shorter barrels.

One interesting thing is that M193 and SS109 / M855 were OPTIMIZED for a 20 inch barrel; i.e. the "standard" barrel length for the M-16 / A1 / A2 and others like the FNC, etc. 5.56 x 45 velocity PEAKS at about 22 inches of barrel, (It it a fairly dinky case, after all). The M-193 cartridge AND the M-16 rifle were essentially developed in parallel. Hence, after going "all in" on the 14.5 inch M4 concept, a "new" optimized round seems to be in the offing. How this might behave in a LONGER barrel like the M249 is anybody's guess. (chopping the M-249 barrel back to 14.5 inches might just cause a whole lot of new "issues".

I have plenty of M855 and 700 rounds of M855A1, because it’s the best combat 5.56 round out there IMO. It will create a massive temporary wound cavity and is barrier blind. It will also penetrate most body armor outside of level VI and very expensive level 3+ plates. Another great round is the 77 grain MK 262 that you should have a good stock of as well. It’s a very accurate cartridge that is good for distance and has great performance on soft targets. M193 is a target round for me and nothing else. I mean it will still do the job, but it’s one of the least effective 5.56 rounds available in my opinion, because it really relies on velocity from a long barrel. I wouldn’t recommend it with anything less than an 18 inch barrel. Great video!! I have recently become a subscriber and appreciate your testing.

If you've got a 20" barrel, M193 is wildly effective. Especially for the cost. IMO, that alone is reason enough to have a 20" setup in 5.56 in addition to shorter rifles, solely so you can stock up on large amounts of cheap 55 grain and know it'll be effective for anything you'd need.

@@bananaballistics I’m not sure but I have chronographed them out of my A2 at 3034fps using 26gr of CFE 223. So I’m not even hot rodding them. Just a nice good easy 3,000fps load. I can fire some out of my 16” later this week if you’d like to know the velocity of my hand loaded samples from my 16”. (allegedly CFE223 is a re-branded but identical formulation to the powder General Dynamics produces for the DOD to load the M855A1, in an article I was reading the average poser charge was 26.4gr and the spec of 3131fps for the M855A1 from my research.) What amazed us is M80 7.62x51 NATO wouldn’t penetrate that same plate at that distance when fired from a 18” AR10.

Can you do a comparison with .243, 6.5cm and .308? Case capacity is very similar with those calibers and I’m guessing the .243 would out perform them both in penetration unless your using a 110-130 grain bullet in the .308

Allegedly, the A1 pens are overpressured and the steel tip mars up the feed ramp going into the chamber. Shortening rifle life. Don’t know if it matters for bolt guns, but it’s been an issue for M-16’s-M4’s

I've got a twenty round mag of the SS109 a buddy gave me back in the 90s - its Sellier & Bellot and has ZV 00 along with the NATO cross on the headstamp - thought it was actually black tip as the green had gotten so dark over the years that it looks black. Couldn't find much on it but someone was actually selling the stuff at $3 a round as "collectable" ammo.

So, legend has it the steel penetrators cause the m855 and similarly constructed bullets to flow and expand on impact when the penetrator itself is stopped i.e. vs hardened steel whereas the homogenous xm193 does not do this to the same degree. Sounds like more testing? I wish I could find the article I read discussing this. It was pretty formal, but it was also on the internet.

You should try out Independence M193 rounds. They are the hottest production 5.56 rounds. They come out of my 16" barrel at over 3,250 fps and shot through my test 3/8" mild steel plates. I wonder how they would perform our of the 26" barrel.

Commercial "SS109" is often loaded to .223 spec, at least it was for a very long time. M855 has always been loaded to the 5.56 spec. The difference in PMAX (7000 PSI) doesn't seem like a lot, but you can load 5.56 much more aggressively and get a ton more velocity. Thanks for the vid, enjoyed seeing how M855A1 did.

What bolt action rifle did you use to test these? Was it rated 5.56 NATO or .223 REM? My HOWA .223 REM has a 1 in 8 twist, which would be different than the older Ruger .223 REM which has a 1 in 12 rate. Twist rates may make a difference in the penetration?
