Range Test Results On Ceramic Plates Are In!

[Super Mario]

We are out of the Osprey / Plate Combos. We are looking to bring it more. Is there more interest?

Absolutely, in an XL

Surprised the 762x39 was more effective penetrating then the 223 ...... 31 cal opposed to 22 and slower etc etc

 

[wolf300H&H]

What range were the tests conducted at ??

Projectile composition favoured the 7.62x39.

It says it was a steel core which would makes big difference. Also it appears they shot the same plate and it was .223 first, so maybe the integrity was compromised and possibly also played a part, but I could be wrong about that.

I am guessing greentip wld zip thru these?

People say that but I highly doubt it, these Chinese steel cores are actually much tougher vs the 80% lead core green tip

Yes..

Its the 10grain penetrator that I wld be worried about on the greentip.

We will be testing a Greentip today and will show you the results.

 

[wolf300H&H]

Yeah the steel core must have given the edge.
20 yards. Wow. Yikes. Point blank.

Cool on the AP 62s test coming

I wouldn't be, like the other comment about it being "AP" it's a common misconception, not even close. The penetrators is nothing but small bit of mild steel. I've shot a lot of green tip when they were actually cheaper then the 55 grain, and was never really impressed of it penetration, it does spark so ranges don't allow them because of fire safety.

Awesome. I already bought 4 plates from you!

 

[dwagonade]

I've got a feeling the green tip will rip straight through these plates, definitely curious to see the results either way

Greentip punches thru almost all level III steel. I have shot 10k of it and am also familiar with it.

Ok can agree to disagree, either way this is for fun and we seem to share the excitement for these results, Im standing by lol.

 

[powerbaitron]

So how did the test go?

I have some green tips on the way, and some spare lvl3 steel I use for my jogs.

I'd be happy to test it out myself one day, although I saw a faaaair number of videos on youtube of greentip NOT going through lvl3 steel....lol
