17 HMR Impact on 1/2" Steel Plate/ little thumper

[mrdojob]

hmm might be a rimfire and centrefire

[HongKongFooeyGC]

@mrdojob Thanks for pointing that out. Most ammo under 22 is usually rimfire. There is even an occasion as to where a caliber above 22 can be rimfire as well.

[Montyfiable]

I know that, its just he listed both

[newhuskytwenty]

I didn't know there was a fried lead eggs gun

[ChrisCorle01]

what ammo are you shooting? myne goes thre 1/4!!!! of steel with no problem

[UberPanj]

hollow point vs. steel? bad idea..

[MONNIEHOLT]

What happen with that flyer?

[lambadafan]

When 20 grain FMJ or XTP are shot into A-36 steel a cup is formed and liquid lead acts as a force multiplier that strips the back end of the jacket from the projectile and send it back at the shooter with enough force to blind, cut finger tendons, plug-cut neck arteries and damage scope lenses. The fragment resembles a jagged hole saw, the circumference remains unbroken. Wear shooting glasses, face shield, hard hat, leather collar and thick leather gloves within 150 feet.

Have you tried this with a FMJ round?

[TheRangeline]

The 17 HMR Will punch threw 1/4 " mild steel plate With ease.

[lambadafan]

@TheRangeline I'd sure like to know more about the 1/4 steel you're shooting with the .17 HMR. Which projectile are you using and what is the official ASTM designation and condition of the steel?

[SacTownStudios]

I wonder how'd it do against 1/4 inch steel

[vash241987]

its like shooting metal spitwads

[bowtechbrando]

[john6223]

Thank you. I have another video in the works shooting .223 and 5.56mm everyting from pointed soft point to armor piercing. and beyond, stay tunned

[Montyfiable]

@john6223 Isn't .223 and 5.56mm the same? Is there some inside joke or something?

[mrdojob]

@Montyfiable one is usually done in inches and one done in centimeters

[Montyfiable]

@mrdojob He put and between the two, like they are different.

[ccalidor]
