Grail with Glass



Anthony's Grail was kind enough to participate in the (photo) shoot.

From left to right and top to bottom

9mm-------------------------9mm--------------------357 SIG
Speer GD 124 +P------Federal HST 124+P-----------Speer GD 125

357 SIG-----------------357SIG----------------------45 ACP
Fed Premium 125-------DT 125 GD-----------------Speer GD 230

223----------------------------223-------------------223
Hornady TAP 60------- -Black Hills Blue Box---------Hornady TAP 75
-----------------------------68 NMHP----------------------

Pistols shot at 10 yards
Rifles shot at 15 yards

Only the 68 and 75 gr 223 loads penetrated the acrylic
I shot it today with IMI 855 and that went all the way through

The 357 SIG rounds from DT and Speer did the most damage of the pistol rounds and cracked the acrylic. The 45 just bounced off!!

Mark, how thick was the acrylic "glass"?

How thick was the material?  I wouldn't have expected acrylic to perform that well at any thickness.

If you hit anything with a .50 BMG, it will have similar results.
