Steel core round vs 1" steel

I shot some 3/4" hot rolled C1018 (mild steel) with SS109 (5.56 62 gr steel core) @ 100 yards and the results were similar at 3/4 scale; the round did not penetrate but left a substantial crater about 2/3 of the way through.

Hard to believe a little .224 diameter bullet could do that.

I like how you setup the videocamera.

Wow thats real cool I love seeing those effects, on your other video with brown bear ammo you shot at 400 yards at that steel plate leaves a pretty good size dent, be cool to see what those silver tip rounds would do at 400 yards against that steel plate I bet it would slice through it. Is that stuff hardened steel core or tungsten.

Thanks for watching buddy! These were I believe Bulgarian surplus rounds with regular steel core. I don't think these were the AP tungsten core rounds.
