That really is crazy impressive. I used to develop military rounds for a manufacture. When we worked on the 338, regular civilian rounds destroyed a surprising number of armors, but when we finished with the tungsten medal penetrator round not much stood in it’s way. The velocity on that round is more than you think, it actually scared me on what it went through. It took true military targets to stand up to it, we hit a very heavily armored car and it went through easily.

Even if the round didn't penetrate the plate (which is pretty amazing, given the horsepower of some of those cartridges at that range) that amount of deformation of the plate might have been fatal regardless. You don't have to depress the chest wall all that far to potentially damage the lungs, heart and major blood vessels. Even a microscopic tear of a cardiac vessel can be fatal in minutes, if not seconds. You can even induce a fatal heart dysrythmia with just a sufficient impact to the sternum.

@@ATruckCampbell Regarding strictly ballistics with no discussion of the pros/cons of either platform - They came into service at almost the same time, so they shared a lot of characteristics. You can consider them as triplets with the .30-40 Krag. With the same barrel length and bullet weight, the 7.62X54R will give you about 200 f/s more than the Brit. Like Paul Harrell says, not enough of a difference to make a difference. I own and hunt with both, and despite the slight velocity difference, I can't see any advantage to either one on deer, hogs, nor coyotes. They are both good performers, and both respond to basic accurizing. They're both capable of performance almost on a par with the .308 and .30-06. Pick one by determining which one has the handling attributes that you like in a rifle. Remember that they both (nominally) take the .311" diameter bullets, except for the Mosins rebarreled in Finland which need the .308" slugs. Have your barrel slugged regardless prior to handloading for them.

Full Metal Jackets are designed to punch holes in things & people. So if you're going to shoot at body armor in order to see what punches through, use FMJ. Also, try using 7.92×57mm Mauser, and its little brother the 7×57mm Mauser (preferably with FMJ rounds) on you're next vest test.

Although the body armor may have stopped the round from penetrating through, you have to understand the energy transfer still continues. Looking at the protruding back side of the armor after each round that will break ribs, cause internal bleeding and damage to your organs. So yes you may survive the initial shot, your going to bleed to death before you make it out of the woods.

SCOTT.... GET THE TABLE. COULDN'T RESIST.

I like how Scott always says he will miss when he has weird sights yet he always hits. This man is to good. Lol

Forget about the cost of the ammo used in these videos for a moment, your table budget must be through the roof.

I feel like even though the armor stops the bullet, you'd still end up with severe internal bleeding and possibly ruptured organs based on where you got hit.

@@Taylormade1717 I think that it would spread the force out over a larger area, but you'd still be in a world of hurt. At the bare minimum you would be laid out on the ground desperately trying to take a breath, as ALL of the air in your lungs would have been driven out via the force of the hit. I tripped while running to the base armory at RAF Upper Heyford and fell chest first into the pavement. I was wearing my FLAK vest, and drove all of the air out of my lungs. I got up, and walked into the armory area, all the time gasping & trying to take a breath. I sat down against the wall, when I started to get dizzy, and the world gray out. I eventually caught a small breath and after some hacking and coughing returned to normal breathing. Granted this WAS NOT a gun shot, but it gave me an idea of what it may be like.

I can't believe that plate took so many .338 Lapua. That's just insane. I'm definitely getting two Premier Body Armor level 4 plates for Christmas.

Have been using a .243 for 16 years, no deer has gone more than 40 ft after first shot, 90% of them 10ft or less. Shot placement helps a lot too. Also, using Remington core lokt 100gr I have never found a piece of lead in any of my deer, ALWAYS through and through and minimal damage. Love that round

Look at this man, he's living his best life.

The slo-mo camera is pretty nifty. We need to see some slow-mo flintlock action.

I wished he did use .243. It's the first gun you get in Hunter classic.

The 270 Winchester is normally used for medium game that is true, however if you're not careful with your shot placement and ammunition selection you're going to get a lot of meat that's destroyed. It's more suited for larger game like mule deer elk or moose. Especially the more powerful ones like the 270 WSM or the 270 Weatherby.

@Terminalsanity

Depends on bullet selection 130 grain 270 works just great on whitetails 150 grain is more for mule deer or elk I wouldn't recommend it for moose. It can work but you'd have to fiddle around with you hand loads to get more reliable results or get those new nossler 165 grain bullets.

People always say the larger calibers destroy more meat. I guess I don't understand that argument. I have shot a lot of deer with a .243 and a 7mm mag. The only difference is the size of the exit hole through the ribs on the back side, assuming you get a pass through with a .243. Either way, not like there is much meat between deer ribs.

They are designed to stop a center mass hit, which is what probably 99% of the world’s military are trained to aim for. Bigger plates mean more weight, it’s a real give and take. Light and fast or heavy and slow. Personally I want light and fast, but that’s just me. We were issued the interceptor armor, and I’ll tell you, the weight combined with the extreme heat of the desert takes a big toll on your body, especially once you add the rest of your gear.

Of course no plate system can protect against a head shot. And any system designed to protect the brain bucket has to deal with a myriad of factors that don't come into play when protecting other parts of the body, like weight, not overly restricting visibility, heat, etc. etc.

30-06 will go through those plates, once the first few shots hit it allows the plate to have some compression there for allowing it to stop better
