@AR500 Armor® Level III+ vs M855A1 EPR!

hey everybody welcome back to the range you got another armor test today this plates from AR 500 armor this is their level 3 + Gen 2 flat plate this is the same plate that we put one round of mata 1 against it 45 feet I do believe the wound Channel originally tested m855a1 against one of the level 3 plus plates it was a little on a use side so I figured I'd repeat the test with a fresher plate our distance today will be at 25 feet these are pro tanto pal colonel as always we have our clay briefcase here still has the impact down there from the mata one the m855 I'm using I do believe based on the color of the tip I think this is the original bismuth core 1 some of the newer stuff that I do have has a different coating on the tip I bought the components from American reloading comm and had them loaded to what we were getting out of the originals that I got we have our 16 inch stag there it's got a phantom m2 30 Cal suppressor on it and we've got our 20 inch upper over there as well we'll take one shot of each and see if we get a pass through as always everything that I usually test on my channel is well above a threat rating for most of the plates I test this plate is not rated for m855a1 but as always curiosity killed the cat so let's see what it's going to do we'll take a shot on the left with the 16 inch barrel velocity was 30 37 all right now we'll take a shot out of the twenty inch barrel and then we'll go see what we did velocity was 2023 sorry the last he was 30 23 well here are results here is the 16 inch barrel here was a 20 inch as you can see there no pass-through there's not even a barely a dimple on the back of the plate there mind you again that's the hole from the mata one just a little dimple on the backside back face deformation is very minimal maybe maybe five millimeters if you're lucky you can see it push the entire plate back a little bit but not too bad well I'd say well done my m855a1 obviously doesn't have the velocity that the wound channels did I think in his 22 inch barrel he was getting a 3200 feet per second again minor reloads so I was going off previous data of 29 60 out of a 16 inch barrel looks like I may need a little faster powder or something to get more velocity but you can safely say out of a 16 inch barrel m855a1 is not going to go through this plate this is one tough cookie as always thanks again they are 500 armor for providing this plate and thanks to you all for watching liking subscribing and or disliking these videos until next time everybody take it easy you
