Steel Hits, originally uploaded by

What various .223 rounds do to AR400 steel. No surprise, the 62gr steel core green tip (marked "GT") did the most damage. The top hit was a 69gr Sierra as loaded by Black Hills, and the bottom hit was a 55gr 193 clone by PMC. All shots were at 50 yards with a 16" barreled AR.
(We did this yesterday, FWIW. The Training Coordinator was giving me shit about if I could hit the plate from 50 yards. Fuckin' Marines, I swear....)
