I saw what a test .223 round did to put a hole through 8" of steel.

I'm gonna have to question whether that's possible myself. I'm pretty sure it would take something the size of a ship's gun to get through 8" of steel. Otherwise you could sink a destroyer with small arms fire.

Caveat- you never specified the temperature of said 8" steel... If it was very very hot or very very cold, then this could be cool to see.

A .223 round going through 8" of steel is impossible. You could use a cartridge 5 times the size, with 5 times as much powder... and it ain't gonna happen.

An armor piercing .50 caliber round would have a very hard time penetrating 5" of good grade steel. It is scientifically impossible for a .223 round to do it... so you are either lying, or you're easily duped.

I'll let you pick.

5.56 tends to "tumble" quite a bit...... a boattailed DU round?

Interested to hear about this Magic bullet.

My hot load FMJ cut through 1/2" plates, but not through alloy. We're you high during this test?

Wait, what?

.223 through steel?

Must be some soft ****.

I've got AR500 plates all over the woods behind me and as long as I'm not firing steel core, they simply sing. No pitting, no nothing.

Steel core and there might be some problems. Not 8" of problems, but maybe 3/8-1/2" of problems if loaded really really hot.

Never saw bullet or steel specs other than it being .223 and made for what it did. Since you don't believe that, I'll not bring up the special Uzi ammo.

You may want to walk that back. I've shot thousands of 5.56 rounds (same bullet & case as a .223 but loaded to a higher pressure). I've shot many, many steel targets made of 1/2" steel. Never seen a round penetrate one. If I'm not mistaking a most of the armor on an Iowa Class battleship is 12-14" thick and it's designed to stop 1 ton projectiles. FWIW, 1 inch thick glass will stop a .223 round shot from 25 yards.

I'll admit it I don't know everything that's possible . I do know that a .223 bullet can't have the mass needed to penetrate a 8 inch piece of steel . It doesn't matter on the bullet specs if it was depleted uranium the bullet can't maintain the energy to penetrate 2 inches of steel . 8 inches is asinine at best or a bald face liar . I'm not Einstein but he's did find the formula that give you the answer.

As a point of science, a .223 bullet is fully capable of penetrating 8” thick steel, and has plenty of mass to do so. However, propelled from a conventional gun it would lack the required velocity.

I suppose if you shot the bullet from space towards the sun, allowing for gravitational acceleration, it would gain the required velocity. But you would need really, really good aim......
