The results on a 1/2 inch steel spinner target after a day of plinking. From the damage done to the target I would have to say I like the 5.7 round more than the 9mm. The damage was impressive. And look at what the .223 did to my target! Dang! Pretty cool.

  • Were you using JHP or FMJ 9mm? And knowing nothing about the 5.7, is that a FMJ or HP type round you used? I never really gave the 5.7 x 28mm any thought before but I was just looking at a PS90 and it peaked my curiosity.

  • @GoFyourselfNow1 It has been so long I am not quite sure. I might have been FMJ on the 9mm. The 5.7 ammo was the polymer tip hollow points. The 5.7x28mm has an interesting history if you look it up. Originally it was a NATO commission to create a round to defeat light body armor, which it will do with the right bullet in the cartridge. It comes zinging out of the barrel around 2100-2300 FPS and has some of the ballistic qualities of the .223. It is nothing to sneeze at, it is a serious round.

  • When does Savage release the 5.7 in the 110 series?

  • @AugustusLarch I wish I knew. But got to their website and search for rifles by caliber and you will find that the 5.7 x 28mm cartridge is listed and it wasn't there a year or so ago. Let's hope it is soon. I would love a 5.7 varminter and it would be nice to see the ammo come down in cost too.

  • my friend and I mangled one of those spinners with a .300 win mag and a mosin nagant... the .300 put holes clean through that half inch steel, it was awesome!

  • @millakilla The target you see in the video got mangled by my brother. He didn't know and he shot it up with his AR-15. Bummer.

  • @millakilla

    The modern factory load .30-06 does hella damage to targets as well.

  • @ogrishtm Not sure. It might punch right through it but I don't want to destroy my target to find out!
