308 vs Steel: Bullets Make A BIG Difference
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- In today's video, we will be testing 20 different bullets loaded in the 308 Winchester to see how they compare on mild steel. Testing was done at 50 yards using A529 Grade 55 mild steel. Thanks for watching!
Nearly all of the projectiles used were purchased as pulled bullets, some of which are only offered in factory ammunition normally.
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!

V1 gettin hammered
The posts are just about as bent as the banana in the intro lol
🤣🤣🤣
As a ballistic nerd myself this has genuinely and actually becoming my favorite gun channel lol
I love your straight to the point no BS format, man. Apparently simple videos, but lots of work behind them, and great info.
This guy is so thorough and complete in his explanation without the excess talking and talking that I can't help but enjoy his videos
Dang that’s a lot of work just to keep us informed!! As a 308 guy, I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thanks and keep up the good work sir!
I watched your video on .308 vs 7.62×51mm prior to this one and the 7.62 won by I think less than a 1/4" so I bet if you loaded that special bullet into the 7.62 round it would punch through the 1"er . Great content in your videos , we really do appreciate you !
Love .308, its such a good balance.
Not a gun guy, never was in my 30 years on this Earth, I’m a very curious guy that thinks random thoughts from time to time, and that what brought me here.
Honestly, I enjoyed the whole video. You’re very entertaining and have good music taste.
This was the best ballistics test and performance for you yet. Congratulations.
This channel rules! Solid info, funny presentation, and sharp editing. Love it!
the standard 150gr Soft Point was actually pretty impressive for being the least expensive bullet up there.
Overall a very interesting test, and I've been loving the channel
One thing people forget is that a copper bullet bullet can go through steel better than lead, IF it's not a hollow point, because it's not only about bullet material, but also bullet design, and this might be a more interesting test to me because of that
While, yes copper is in general, a harder metal than lead, all of those bullets where a hollow point of some sort, and from what I have seen, those copper HPs have pretty violent expansion very quickly and will not penetrate that deeply, and I think it's because they're not really a solid piece of copper, they have tiny grooves inside so that they'll expand more easily
Another thing is that copper is indeed harder than lead, but it doesn't have that high of a tensile strength either, so it's pretty maleable, brass one the other hand can have up to double the hardness depending on the composition and I would bet that a pointy brass bullet would go through a lot more
okay, voiceover on top of your catchphrases, hilarious.
Thanks for the test. Unless Midway provided all the ammo components, that's a lot of money- we all know you can't just buy 1 or 2 bullets and some of those are very $$$
Luckily I was able to buy most of the bullets as pulled, which definitely saved some money. It definitely took some time to load them all up though lol
@@bananaballistics- was the AP round loaded to .308 or 7.62 pressure levels? Just wondered if there was anything left on the table charge weight wise?
Thank you for an Excellent video. It took a lot of time and preparation to complete. I’m at the crossroads of buying my next rifle but haven’t decided on a 308 or 65 Creedmoor. However after viewing your (2) 308 videos I’m looking for a 308 rifle. 😊
Great information, good to know. Sometimes thugs busting ur door are wearing vests
Well done. Thank you for all the time, energy and resources. Good information and demonstration. Interesting results. I was under the impression that the all copper were more likely to penetrate more than the lead core.
Same here. I thought copper would do way better than lead
I was thinking that as well. Copper hasn’t performed well in the 6.5 CM or the 308, so we’ll have to see if it can do better in anything larger
Im really surprised at the potency of that 308 AP round. Most things struggle with the 3/4 plate but its just like "Thank you sir, may i have another?"
Well it's an actual armor piercing round so it should do much better than the standard rounds.
You also understand that this is only mild steel not hardened AR500 steel which is used for Armor and a Armor piercing bullet can’t even go through 1 inch of mild steel that’s really not that good. I have thick steel here and different grades of steel here to their hardnesses are so different
Well yeah, with mild steel most bullets will have trouble with 3/4 of an inch of steel over half an inch. Steel Plate can stop most things, but the armour piercing failed to penetrate 1 inch plate, but remember mild steel is not as hard as some of the other grades Like 500 grade and 600 grade rifle rounds, barely leave a mark on the plate with those grades
Wow are AP bullets legal ??😲
@@wallychambe1587Technically, in thr USA, yes. However, due to how rare and expensive they are. They are very difficult to find. Usually through a private seller that may or may not have a acquired them through less than legal means, but once you have purchased them, you bought them legally in a private sale, and it is legal for you to possess them.
I have always been amazed at how far the 308 can punch through steel. Shot a lot of mild steel in the 90s, up to 3/4", and the 308 always impressed.
The old .30-06 AP2 bullets are so hard because they are center less ground essentially tool steel cores. Even later 1980s IMI “penetrators” can’t touch the old WW2 stuff.
Every once in a great while I happen to read a comment that is truly interesting and educational.
Thank you for this comment.
It makes sense why some of these AP rounds are capable of penetrating 3/4 inch steel. That is nuts!
World War 2 must have been unimaginable. The Greatest Generation. God, how I miss my grandfather...
What a surprisingly interesting video! Thank you for your hard work!
Awesome video brother I love the 308
Awesome showcase using the materials you had available on your budget.
Excellent video presentation skills.
Thanks for your upload.
My favorite gun Channel. Thanks for the great content 👍
I really appreciate it!
I'm baffled by the copper bullets LACK of performance on mild steels, seeing as they can INCREASE chance of penetration on hardened steels. Some interesting physics going on here.
I agree, especially considering that it is harder than lead and has a much higher melting point
I wholeheartedly agree. It has to be related to the failure mode.. Mild steels tend to flow in a plastic manner (relatively) whereas the hardened steels are going to be a brittle failure. Maybe the milder steels as they are "flowing" away absorb more energy? I'm not sure of the answer.. but seeing a SMK outperform a barnes blows on ANY steel blows my mind.
Great video man. 11/10.
I will test Barness TTSX vs 3/8" harden steel. 175gr SMK did not go through it. if TTSX won't penn then I'll repeat the test with 300WM 190gr SMK and 180gr TTSX and TSX (TSX supose to be the "hardest" copper bullet. That should show if hardened steel vs mild steel is a factor with weak copper penetration.
@@JohnyBravo44did u ever test it?
It's called Sectional density .. . Copper won't penetrate more than lead on steel. Brass of course is a different story 😊
absolutely loving the content! keep up these kinds of videos!!
Absolutely love this detailed videos. Imagine if you had more velocity (hotter round) pushing those projectiles?!?! Like a coked up angry hornet!!
Truly enjoyed the video!! Thank you for making this!
Sidenote: I did not expect the baritone voice, got that James Earl Jones vibe! 😂
Awesome and super informative videos....a lot of work too. Can you imagine the impact of these videos on the sales of these ammo 😮
My favorite ballistic channel. Great job my friend. Here I thought the 1/2 was undefeated, then 😮 AP 30-06 very impressive.
The voiceover was awesome. Felt like I was watching an old school Godzilla movie 😂
Interesting performance on those rounds .
Thank you for your efforts sie !
i love watching these tests - ultimate kino
If you find a piece of wood that fit the track underneath your plate holder then through couple small hole and put a couple of screw through to the wood below. This should help hold the plate more most stable. Put a strong magnet on the bottom would help
😮Absolutely fantastic thank you 😊
I wish there was like a 308 club that people could do things together to help get new rounds out .
I like the part when you say "ITS TIME TO GRIND."
Very helpful information, thanks for your hard work.
Great channel, always good content,and intelligent commentary
Those hand loads had some zip to them. Good stuff.
If you happen to have a 30-06 and more of those penetrators, I think that would be an awesome test!!!! 😁😁😁
Was coming to ask you to do this with the 30-06! I second this request!
@@johncee853 The 30-06 AP will go through the 1" for sure. More than that? I dunno.
It will also go through 1/2" AR500 as long as you're using fresh powder loads.
I never thought someday I will love balistics but my path cross escape from tarkov and now I’m here
Thanks Midway, ya know, for Mortal Kombat
I fired a WW II M2 AP into 1 inch of class A armor from the Armor Research Foundation at the Illinois Institute of Technology where my dad was an apprentice tool and die maker. Tip of the core is just sticking out the backside of the plate. Plate is sitting in the basement still. Look around for the core as it may still be on the range.
Thanks for everything!!
Smooth sexy jazz for shooting. Music picks up for grinding!!!!!! Nice.
You should try that same ap round out of a 300 mag
I wonder if that same bullet in its native fully loaded 30-06 case would have punched through, given how close it came out of .308. Seems like the extra 100-150fps would have done the trick.
I think so, I might have to try it out
@@bananaballistics I've read online that those M2 3006 bullets loaded into a 300 win mag really increase the potency
Alexander I believe you are correct sir. That increase in velocity is the difference. M2 AP out of a Garand will pass through 1" mild steel @100 yards.
The 30 cal AP rounds when loaded into a 30-06 round will penetrate 1"mild steel @100 yards.
Damn bro you should really buy a Surface grinding machine Love your videos
I wanna see this redone now with the new setup and some of the better performers
Excellent review 👏 👌 👍
Time to test the .30-30. Use the common 150 and 170gr loads.
good stuff, keep up the good work.
Super awesome 😎 video dude!! It was great!! I’m looking at mossberg mvp scout rifle and I think I’m gonna spring for it this week!!! I subscribe also!! Great job brother!!!
If that ap bullet was in the 3006 it would have went through
Always enjoyable. Just wish I saw what the banana did on 3/8” steel…
I watched a video of you with a much much higher voice and you sound a lot better
Nice experiment. I would like to see the plate mounted in a fashion where it could not move during impact. I think some of the energy is being deflected
Subbed. Thanks for the tests dude
Gorgeous rifle, fun video.
Your shoulder loves you very much ....😂😂😂😂
When the steel runs it's course do ballistic glass next 👍
Great content … keep it up … 304 💪🏼
Who s 150 grain interlock(Brand name) Thank you for all the testing!
Seriously digging your vids man. Thanks for doing these.
I would like to see you load one a little heavy and put one of those AP rounds in it. I think that might get through the 1 inch plate. Or better yet do it with a .30.06.
Copper is harder than lead so im baffled as to why it doesn't penetrate as well as lead. I have some ideas about how to make an AP bullet.
What rifle sre you using for this tests?
Very good videos!!
Keep it up!!
Hi, Internet Expert here.
To what degree does the metal plate and mount flexing effect the penetration? Is there more energy absorbing rebound near the top of the plate vs the bottom?
Also whats with dubbing that voice over your own?
I will finish with not one but TWO anecdotes of my own which sound fantastic and of course are completely unverifiable, claiming that Ive done something that #1 proves this video wrong and #2 if true would make me a very cool guy. You can just imagine the stories on your own.
PS banannas cant be ammo, duh.
Sincerely,
Internet Expert
Aswome , i like the 308 that is good to know ,
How the heck do you forget your magazine???
Me: Goes to the range and realizes, I left my ammo at home!
Can you do a test on 300 win mag ?😄
Now we need to see that bullet loaded in a 300 win mag. I can see thst having a chance against that 1 inch steel with an extra 400 or so fps
You could get through 1/2 inch stainless with 147 fmj, you should try it
If it was in a 30-06 fired by an M1 Garand it would have gone through. Also take a look at what type of 30-06 AP round you have there were 4 or 5 different kinds if I recall. AND the 167 or 172gr (can't remember the exact weight) AP type have better penetration. I'll bet they would have gone through the 1" too. You forgot to mention what powder and how much you reloaded with. I'll bet if you pushed the load to 105% it would have gone through the 1" too. If you used a 26" barrel it might have gone through also. Really nice work by the way, other than Going Ballistic your "experiment" was way up there as far as youtube content goes.
Also the reason they're all over the place is the twist rate of the barrel... 190gr isn't gonna like 1 in 10.. 1 in 12 will be better.. 147gr probably wont quite like 1:10 either..
throughout the video I was waiting for one to break the "magical" 3281 fps-barrier... that is 1000 m/s
Would definitely like to see how that AP round stacks against some M80A1
Surprised the 125 fmj didn’t do better. Expected velocity to overcome the lack of mass. But guess 147-150 is the ideal fmj weight
What 125 grain fmj?
I thought the solid copper would do better. Thanks for all that grinding.
After watching a few of his videos I can see why he has only 67k subs
Sure wish someone would put a 30 caliber ap round in a 30-378 weatherby
This channel is gonna hit the 100K sub count this year! I'm calling it now @bananaballistics
The soft point penetrated deeper than the FMJ? Weird.
im one of those people, 308, 270 and 30-06... depending on training, are pretty interchangeable. I don't like eating deer my favorite is elk - i have had a nice dinner with some sweet peanut butter sauce with all 3 calibers. just train and hit the spot you need. all of the calibers will bring home the meat.
Super awesome video! ❤ I didn't know you could speak Japanese!?! Have you considered doing a cameo in the Godzilla series? 😎 I would SO watch that!!! You would kick his butt. 🤣🤣🤣
Still waiting for a voiceover company to reach out lol
Thanks!!! Hard work!!! But no GI ball FMJs??? (150gr)
I didn’t know everybody loves Raymond had a gun channel
That was fun, but... Most folks with a .308 aren't stocking the fridge with steel plates. Enjoyed it, but not useful to me in a practical sense. YMMV
Time to test them in 30-06
What if you shot a spot of lubricant would it help the penitration
Oh good, still testing on mono layer steel. For a moment I was worried you found my comment. Maybe I should be carful not to leak how our armor is made.
Very interesting
Big shout out to V1 for making this test possible.
Bro tested types of .308 Winchester I didn't even know existed 💀
Bet if you pushed that AP round a little faster, it would have punched through.
Yes sir the good old .308 been getting the job done for a long time now, just out of curiosity have you tried to .30-06 AP on the 1” plate with a 30-06 rifle ??
Not yet, but I might just have to!
Same result
Barnes 130s
3125 fps
Great video overall
Womde how'd they do here.
wait what bullet is that? That is very impressive.
Really hope you did any evaluation between shots. There's no way to keep all those straight
