https://greyhive.com/videos/watch/f40d5fb4-0443-4b66-a688-5ab81d9b02b5 Which is the ultimate lightweight rifle cartridge? Today we are pitting the high-speed .223 Remington against the harder-hitting .243 Winchester in a head-to-head ballistic showdown. First, we put them over the chronograph to see the real-world FPS (Feet Per Second) and velocity numbers. Then, we find out what that speed and energy actually look like downrange by shooting through rolls of toilet paper to test penetration, expansion, and raw destructive power! You might be surprised by how many layers it takes to stop these rounds. Which caliber came out on top? Let me know your pick in the comments below! 👇 SUBSCRIBE for more ballistics tests, caliber comparisons, and range days! ⚠️ Disclaimer: All shooting in this video was conducted on a closed, safe shooting range following all proper firearm safety protocols.
