We take the same 178 grain ELD-X Precision Hunter projectile from a .308 Win and a 300 Win Mag out to 500 yards. Can we capture the energy difference created by the increased velocity in a 150 pound block of clay? We also try and recover the projectile to measure the differences.

    A couple things you should test out as I am starting to work with acrylic and polycarbonate sheets for my house windows and doors, I am also using epoxy resins and polyester fiberglass resins. You’re already using them in a way by using gorilla glue and other adhesive sealants to bond the layers together. But instead of pressing the layers together and squeezing out as much adhesive as you can to reduce air bubbles, consider using different types of pourable 2-part resins to make some of the layers themselves. Epoxy resin has a tensile strength similar to that of polycarbonate and acrylic and glass, while polyester resin is not as strong as epoxy resin it is much more flexible. Just make sure you purchase the correct type of resin for how thick you want the layer to be. Once the hardener is mixed in they begin to heat up to cure and Some epoxy can only be poured 1/8” at most or they get too hot and can combust. Other deep pour resins can be poured 2” deep. The deep pour resin is very thick and you can make a wall around your piece of glass or lexen using a masking tape. Wrap the tape around the perimeter of the glass ensuring half of the tape is sealed tightly to the edges of the glass and half of it is sticking up like a wall around the piece of glass. You can then pour a layer of resin on top of the glass or Lexen layer and use a heat gun or torch for epoxy resin only to get the air bubbles out of it, then wait for it to set up and put another piece of glass on top while it’s still curing or wait for it to fully cure, sand it’s surface a bit, and then pour another layer of resin. If you have the equipment to do so you don’t even need to use adhesive to combine the layers. Actual bullet proof glass is sealed around the edges with a special high temperature adhesive possibly similar to stove gasket or furnace cement, then it’s put in a high heat furnace where it’s heated up to just below melting temperature and then all the layers of glass and polycarbonate are pressed together compressing them extremely hard. You may be able to replicate with a forge and a hydraulic press if you have one or buy one. A small one is around $300

    The new dummy torso is a nice addition, and good to see companies starting to send you stuff. That slug was .308 levels of ft-lbs. I'd be surprised if a soft armor panel, of any design, could handle it. The mag dump was fantastic. Armors are designed to take shots per NIJ's "fair hit" pattern, which of course means nothing in the real world. The nice thing about PE is that it can take so many rounds in a tight pattern without failing, which all Kevlar designs can't usually do. Of course, PE has its own issues, so its a trade off like everything else.

    no one will take a shot at you from that far with a handgun... that range is for rifiles... it will be either point blank or at least he will be standing at a distance of 5-10feet... show us how impactful is it from that distance... that will be a true real-life scenario, and that will be more fun to watch (ofcourse you have to take precaution from that close)

The industry could have easily put 7 Rem Mags with 1:8 twits and duplicate or better the performance of the PRC. The PRC is a good offering just the same. Most of us are not going to exhaust the capabilities of any of these high performance offerings whatever caliber/chambering we choose. Good stuff. Enjoy.
