So I recently got some new targets: one is a 1/2” AR500 which I placed at 50 yards. Manufacturer says no steel core and nothing over 3,000 fps. Longest AR is 14.5” so even M193 should be under the velocity threshold and I just planned not to use M855. After shooting some M193 and seeing more damage than expected, I shot one round of M855. Pics show the results: the M193 makes a significantly wider and deeper crater than M855. Kinda makes me wonder what the point of M855 is. 193 on the left, 855 on the right.
