Please try 22-250 40 grain. If you want me to send ammo just pm me so I can send the ammo. My dad said 220 swift also 40 grain. If you can get your hands on either rifle I will send ammo! Thanks so much for the cool videos I live in east tennesse so shooting is a big part of my life.

Yeah okay I wasn't sure that's just what I thought ,but I am far from an expert lol

[@shanevonharten3100]

You can punch the 22-250 out over 4000fps from a 40 grain but no projectile will hold together through that much steel. It would be interesting to load some AP projectiles from the 223 into the 22-250, but thats a job for one of the US boys as they are not available here in Australia or i definitely would try it.👍🇺🇸🇦🇺👍

Slap 338 or 50

[@bubbigguns4952]

😄😅

[@davidh9659]

​@Jones Problem with solids is they usually have lower density than lead, decreasing their energy density per volume too. Usually you want high specific weight material flying as fast as possible, ideally it is pointy and hard as well. So far I didn't find that solids leave even as much of a crater as similar velocity fmj. Just a prettier color mark on the target :) They might have merit tho with thin barriers tho, if they don't fall apart as easily

[@davidh9659]

@Jones interesting. was that a who_tee_who video as well?

I’m surprised to see that the 223 actually did the most damage

[@RayBlackburn]

You forgot the 7mm08 which is why my 3/8th inch AR500 target is broken now LOL I should buy some more of them as they are fun to shoot at for sure and maybe I should get the 1/2 or 3/4 inch next time

[@briangabriel4165]

That's pretty thin. How close did you shoot it

[@frankwebster6082]

Great video, the 243 did more damage in your previous videos.

[@1.forestrunner]

"Aaah...put some more. Aaah America!" couldn't have said it better

[@MutarFuqueer]

Would be interesting to see what some of the barrel burners do to that target! 300RUM, 300 PRC, 6.5 PRC, 30-378 WTBY, etc.

[@stanpotter7764]

WHO_TEE - you should get a .17 Remington chambered rifle! Nosler makes a 20 grain loading at 4200 fps. 25 grain bullets are rated at 4040. There are some faster rounds, like the .204 and light 22-250, but for the size of the bullets, it is amazing what they do. Shoot a can of corn and it just vaporizes. I once worked up 15 grain (yes, that's not even 3 times the weight of a BB!) to 4450 over my chronograph. I have no idea how they held together. That same load went through 2 inches of plexiglass (bulletproof glass from a bank being torn down). Shot same glass with 230gr .45 acp and it barely dimpled it. Very cool stuff.

[@crookeddealer7026]

You may need to brace the plate so it won’t move. Part of the bullet energy/speed is lost when the plate moves back(all though not much).

[@gregorynewman4993]

Might not be too safe at 12 yards but I agree with the principal

[@rocknraptor3195]

AR500 steel is designed for these applications..forged, hardened, abrasion & impact resistant.. military & government have used it for a long time.. ½" AR500 steel is advertised & sold to withstand rifle rounds; repeatedly!. The alloy is designed to be bullet proof & not fail from fatigue.. ¾" AR500 will laugh at anything you throw at it.. only one or two rifle ammo types can punch through it, several of us have mentioned it.. good video who-tee 💥💥👍!

[@chandler7122]

You’d be surprised with .22-250. Dented my 3/8 inch AR500 target. Bulges on the back!

[@killerta87]

Why use standard .223 and not xm855 green tip penetrator rounds? Interested to see what it would do

[@bigricksmith8345]

Everyone keeps talking about the velocity, but the thing is; If you using a lead core bullet, you're always going to have that problem. AP rounds work so much better not just because their fast, because their hardened steel core is literally hundreds of times harder than lead(and harder than AR500, typically) Lead core ammo just won't work on AR500, no matter what fast wildcat caliber you think of.

[@OrangesmokeM7]

Missed the premier. Worked late and had to run up to local shop after work. They had a CZ scorpion I had to put on layaway for couple weeks 👍

[@Marktk72]

Try a .408 Cheytac. Thanks for the video !Next to try is a railgun.

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

22-250 is a good small but fast round. Back in day anyway it would go through bullet proof plexy when 223 wouldn't.

[@kicknsystm]

I've always admired your AR15 & as luck would have it I hit the like button #223.

[@michaelewing6155]

Great video

[@UhEaux]

you need tungsten, and you need more velocity. 3000+ fps. a .50 SLAP round is your best bet.

[@arcanon5080]

Also the best bet at blowing up the gun

[@Leverguns50]

Good job

[@IEraiderfan]

Gool video just thanks,👍👍👍

[@cheryltysver4819]

WTW: A little while ago I looked into the AR500 phenomena for the first time and it seems to have most of the properties that are associated with what is called RHA (or Rolled Homogeneous Armor) in the military parlance. Both the AR500 and AR550 in 1/2" thickness are fairly tough targets, but can be defeated by the fastest rounds requiring velocities in the neighborhood of 4,000 fps and above or muzzle energies of at least 5,000 fp in conjunction with sectional densities above .330 with strongly constructed projectiles! The 3/4" AR-500, for some reason (probably something called 'areal density'...) seems to be a much tougher target to defeat than the 1/2" plates would indicate. In light of this it is a bit surprising that one of the other channels (Going Ballistic) was able to defeat 1" thick AR500 with a .50 caliber SLAP round out of a sufficiently long barrel (it was 45 inches, I believe). The 3/4" AR500 appears to be able to stop every .50 caliber variant other than those with dedicated Tungsten (versus Multi-purpose) cores. The .300 RUM was unable to defeat the 3/4" AR500 with the standard 'black tip' that I had... but that could have been due to where it was manufactured and the core properties. Several other AP variants out of the .300 RUM (single specimens of unknown origin, for the most part) that had a magnetic core, or steel core were able to defeat the 3/4" AR500 with two of them having a fair amount of residual energy (out of the eight that fully penetrated the 3/4" plate). This was out of a 30" barreled .300 RUM with velocities of close to 4,000 fps and somewhat over 4,000 fps in some cases. Other than those instances the 3/4" AR500 stopped just about everything else, including light weight Lehigh Defense (now Wilson Combat, I believe) 85 grain copper projectiles running ~ 5,000 - 5,100 fps! Hope that this helps clarify what you will need to defeat your AR500 plate(s)!

[@cheryltysver4819]

You are one of the very best! Have a Happy Thanksgiving and let me know if I can help you in any way... Take care and keep your powder dry!

[@guardianminifarm8005]

If you have access to a 243, Hornady makes a 58 gr. Superformance that is nearly 4000 fps. That may be one to try.

[@rocknraptor3195]

Yep👍 that's what I said weeks ago on the original video..I don't think these young punks even know what real ¾" steel is & probably never held a peice or tried to drill in it, let alone shoot at any!.all the 220, 224, 223 comments are a absolute joke..50bmg rounds didn't do it (no surprise).. so believing a 22 caliber anything will is ignorant!. AR500 steel is designed to be shot at; alot!! Check out some SLAP rounds Shane I believe they could do it from the 50, usually around $80-100 for one round.

[@greenthumb774]

What about using a 220 swift that's a fast round I'm not sure if I'm correct but I think it's faster than the 224

[@leesanders8824]

The Swift is up around 3800-3900fps factory loaded. Originally loaded over 4000fps when it came out.

[@ihitwrongbutton194]

Yup way faster, like 204 ruger fast

[@briangabriel4165]

Fast but there us nothing to the bullet, wouldn't put a dent on the plate.

The 90 gr. 224 Valkyrie is probably my all-around favorite ammo to shoot, no matter what application we're talking.

[@davidabernathy4553]

Well now that was a interesting video and that is asking a lot out of any caliber to punch a hole through three quarter inch AR-500 steel. I shoot 3/8 AR 500 steel with about every caliber that I own which I only go up to 30 ought 6 but at 50 yards I don't do hardly any damage to the 3/8 AR-500 steel.

[@davidorpwood8433]

ITS A BIT HARD TO FIND A .264 WIN MAG . SO .22- 250 50grn doing 3900fps 25.06 70 grn doing 3,700fps & a 300 RUM 150 grn doing 3500 fps

[@yomamasbeefcurtains]

Take some of the bigger faster 224's, such as the Valkyrie, WSM, 22-250, 22 Nosler, etc., and do some hot handloads with SS109 Green Tip projectiles. Maybe try regular steel core FMJ, too.

[@cheryltysver4819]

None of those will work... the only thing that has a chance vs. 3/4" AR500 would be a Tungsten core out of a pretty hot.300 Magnum or .50BMG... with just a few exceptions!

[@raymorrison5006]

How about trying some of those thirty-ought-six accelerators they're pretty darn fast I think around four thousand feet per second

[@lawrencelobdelliii2626]

Shoot it with the Lehigh Defense Controlled Chaos ammunition starting with the smaller calibers and going up to the .50 in that ammo. That should make some good dents and might have enough energy transfer to go through the plate.
