Monolithic Munitions record setting 223 WSSM 40g HV 4700 fps load vaporizes a watermelon like no other. This is a production cartridge with non-lead bullets available at monolithicmunitions.com
Monolithic Munitions presents a new world record, 4700 fps muzzle velocity from a factory cartridge,
Monolithic Munitions loads the mighty .223 Winchester Super Short Magnum with a 40g HV all copper bullet to produce this amazing velocity.
Here is the little demon with the test rifle, The 223 WSSM is short enough to fit in compact rifles including the AR-15
Compared to the 223 Remington, that's a lot more powder.
Now lets see the explosive results, each test compares the 223 WSSM to the 223 Rem with the same 40 HV bullet, only going 1300 fps slower.
A few water bottles for warm up. Wssm first, then 223 rem.
Now let's shoot this unsuspecting watermelon WOW look at that explode, nothing in there, just bullet energy transferred to the target.
One frame at a time, look at the speed of that melon flying apart, in just 4 frames its blown to bits!
Now lets try the 223 Rem on a watermelon.
The Monolithic Munitions 223 Rem with 40g HVs is already devastating at close range, but the 223 WSSM will do the same thing at long range, at 250 yards it is equivalent to the 223 rem at the muzzle.
With the Monolithic Munitions .223 WSSM ammo, a 400 yard point blank range is possible on a 6" vital zone target
But un like fragile bullets, the core continues to penetrate, so you get massive hydraulic shock and deep penetration all in one bullet.
The drive band technology of the 40g Hv bullet eliminates the excessive barrel ware that has plagued super velocity rounds in the past.
Shooting watermelons sure is fun!
So ask your rifle builder to make you a 223 WSSM today and get your ammo from monolithic munitions
By the time you zero the rifle, it's time for a new barrel.
@@tokenlectronix5223 Barrel erosion steeply increase with bullet velocity / chamber pressure. That is why cartridges like these never become popular. And that is why pistol barrels last a lot longer than rifle barrels.
@@tokenlectronix5223 you will be waiting for a long time, nobody has ever made a .223 that went over 4000 fps. a jacketd lead bullet will not stay togather at that speed. if you pay close attention you hear him say "monolithic copper bullet" about 50 times. and that bullet is the only reason this round works.
yes, it does look very much like some old designs, but if you research you will find that they didnt work and thats why they faded into oblivion. so when you want to pull your head out of your ass and quit insulting people who know more than you, we may be able to have an adult conversation. untill then go back to your x-box and keep quiet when we adults are talking, ok?
@@lukewarmwater6412 Don't cry about it old man. I don't even own a Xbox and this 32 year old kid would run circles around you. I'm not sure who I insulted, but I was not the one who started the name calling. Maybe you should put your reading glasses on and read all of the comments before you chime in with your hypocritical insults about being mature. I don't know anything about this new fan boy cartridge, the first thing I asked was if this cartridge would destroy a barrel so fast at these pressures would that not be true for all cartridges that produce these types of pressures, And someone like you wanted to run their mouth.
your name is hilarious @@lukewarmwater6412
@@lukewarmwater6412 How fast could a Jacketed Lead bullet hold together, then? What about steel or tungsten core with a copper jacket?
Barrel life is estimated to last around 7 or 8 rounds
Joe Dirt Hey what happened with buffalo bill?
Joe Dirt That's bull I have a friend that has one and has shot well over 500 rounds with no barrel wear at all
Affirmative on the joking part .... Etc. etc
Another 22-250 wanta be. How accurate is the the.223 WSSM at 500 yards?
Cast bullets can not burn out a barrel! Learn to reload!
Here we are in 2020 and almost no ammunition manufacturer makes this cartridge and the ones that still do are OUTRAGEOUSLY priced. Even the Hornady Reloading Manual calls it "one of the most homely cartridges in the book".
I was working at a gun store when all the short and super short mags came out. I knew it was a flash in the pan. But that's progress.

The .223 WSSM: Making better Rabbit Soup, the world over.
There won't be any rabbit left.
"Welcome to Monolithic Munitions, as of December 31st 2016 we are ending commercial ammunition production." Real World Beater there..........
All they had to do is look up what happened to previous high velocity rounds. They knew it would destroy barrels and just tested to see if they could crack 5000fps. P. O. Ackley tried as did likeminded Bill Hembley-Clark with his .17 "Flintstone Super Eyebunger" reaching 4798fps. But to be fair, these guys here tried to sell them so one could argue that it was the fastest production gun while the before mentioned are wildcat rounds.
@@onpsxmember I made a bullet that could go 5000fsp and not over rpm. I was a years worth of work to accomplish it.
I did the math and at close range, that watermelon just experienced nearly 2,000 foot lbs of energy.
Sorry you are wrong . In the 1950s the 30-378 wby mag recorded 4,800 fps with a light zinc projectile. Per request of US Army. It later recorded 6,000 fps with a different bullet. Barnes Reloading manual number 3 page 421.
That is not a production cartridge you can actually buy. There are wildcats and experimental loads that are faster, but no production cartridge you can actually buy is faster, there for this is the current world record for a PRODUCTION cartridge. So no need to be sorry :)
MonolithicMunitions Good research and reading though..... Im sure that there is something out there that we are unfamiliar with that has pushed 10K.... but we may never know.....
Can you help me? Whats the best barrel treatment for high pressure gas erosion? Chrome doesnt seem so good, Melonite and Black Nitride seems quite good but how much it really holds up in therms of gas erosion? Does it fully protect it? And whats with the tantalum coating.
Have you tried cryo???
Johannes von' Strauch \Liandri_Development_Group/ stellite would probably do you right but you don't want that (or chrome) in a precision gun. Nitride would be your best bet for a precision gun.

I agree, they should set that test up somehow.
It'd go through em so fast he'd only notice until he looked down
@@My600lbStrife would be awesome to see.
Rectal Rampage at 4700fps it likely wouldn’t go through him at all- it would fragment on impact causing a wide but rather shallow wound
@@PalmettoPrecision That's likely the case. While higher velocity ammunition such as 5.56 is likely to go through a human target, it gets to a certain point where that would occur. Then again, I'm no expert.
I bought a Winchester Ultimate Shadow Stainless about 10 years ago for my wife to use seal hunting. The projectile is so astonishingly fast, it hits as you hear it. Truly an underappreciated round. We have run roughly 500-550 rounds through the rifle and it still shoots dime sized groups at 100 yards from the ridiculously thin barrel Winchester put on it. Nice video.
SHOOTING SEALS???!!!! THAT IS TRULY STOLEN VALOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!
HOW DO THAT LIL OLE PILL DO AGAINST GRIZZ???!!!!
They want $119 for 20 rounds. Yeah right! I'll continue rolling my on thank you.
To clarify, its $67.99 for 20 rounds! I always support making your own ammo if you have the time and skill, not everybody can and that's where we come in.
Anyone that owns one is an idiot if they can't reload though. It's close to my 220 Swift
@@MonolithicMunitions that’s a good price
It aint the bullet that eats the barrel, its the high heat high speed gas that eats the throat of the barrel. The solution is Melonite (Salt Bath Nitrocarburization) treatment of the barrel brand new.
davydiver The biggest wear is caused by unburned powder flowing through the throat. Most of the powder flows through the throat unburnt. A large portion of the combustion occurs outside of the brass, especially in large powder charge/small bore situations. (WSSM)
4700 FPS... holy cow. Can't imagine the barrels last long but bet it's worth it!
Anytime you have to use a slower powder, there’s going to be throat erosion from the long heat exposure and some unburnt powder grains. 22-250 is about the max for speed and barrel life compromising in that caliber.
While you are right that the heat of any powder will still cause erosion over time, I believe that slower burning powders actually cause less erosion than faster ones, at least that's what I've been led to believe from gun magazines when going into the problems with .220 Swift when it was originally introduced with no suitably slow powders that in part (barrel metallurgy was the other) contributed to the reputation of rifles so chambered for having terrible barrel lifespans.
It's a 40 gr bullet. Load that in a 220 swift and see what happens. Same results. Ive put over 2000 round thru a 220 swift and a 22 Cheetah at 4000 to 4300 plus FPS,,,,never had a barrel issue. Remember that problem was in the 1930's and 40's. Today we have much better steel. Same with the 264 mag. Great cartridges, just a bit ahead of there time material wise. Ask Ed Shlien at Shilen Barrels, he'll set the record straight.
I still like my 1950 Winchester Model 70 heavy barrel in 220 Swift. It goes so fast, it goes back in time.
I'd imagine this would penetrate all known body armor.
I dont understand why with any round that goes faster than about 3500 fps you always have guys saying thats a barrel burner and you will have to replace it after a few hundred rounds. Thats all bs I have a 22-250 that shoots almost 4000 fps and have put thousands of rounds through it and can still get 3-4 inch groups at 700 yards.
A bolt gun or semi
@@kylelaughinghouse1893 bolt
Amazing how many rifles shoot half MOA at 700 yards on the internet.
Are you handloading? If so, how hot?
@@ColeDedhand It dose have a heavy target barrel and stock. Prob weighs over 15 pounds
1:55 what the heck! you can see it coming at the watermelon?!?
SD Customs how the hell did you see that and now I'm kind of curious I know what it is it's the sonic boom you're seeing the water vapor in the air is being compressed by the air clapping behind the bullet check out an F-16 when it makes a sonic boom and that will give you your answer
Must have been a lucky camera frame
I can see it too
What was it?
I know this comment was made over a year ago but if you turn the play back spead to .25 you can see its not the bullet I don't know what it is tho
Exactly keepleft! I've reloaded and killed coyotes with a Winchester Model 37 220 Swift-45 grain soft point spitzer at about 4300 FPS. It had been re-barreled with a Fajen I think. We were thinning coyotes on my friend the doctor's farm to keep them from killing calves. He had a Sako .222 (50 grain) and the 37 had been his Dad's. I had a Ruger M-77V in .243 I was loading with 75 grain HP boattails at about 3750 FPS. The .243 would reach 100 yards farther than the .222, 50 yards farther than the Swift without as good of glass on it, and three shots from the Swift and the barrel was nearly dull red at dawn or dusk. The .22-.308 is too hard on the barrel over a .22-.250 Improved for the gains. And with a Unertl battery scope (12X) on the M-77V I killed a crow at a MEASURED 700 yards pecking in a Winter wheat field in Western OK. A 55 grain .22 vs. a 75 grain 6mm I don't think would have gotten there that flat started 1000 FPS faster or nearly that accurate.
The standard round is just fine ......thank you.
Welcome to Monolithic Munitions, as of December 31st 2016 we are ending commercial ammunition production.
All of the "newer" calibers coming out the last few years is exciting. I am looking forward for even more new calibers. I have a few new calibers that I would like to see someone try.
Same. I want to see a 9mm necked down to 6.5mm to complete the package of 6.5mm. creedmoor for long range, grendel for medium range rifles and the pistol calibre for PCCs/pistols.
I'd try it myself if it were legal where I live.
Its not newer caliber genius, its .223. Unless you mean that they are releasing bullets in new calibres... they are out of business since 2016 lol.
I thought I was gonna watch a watermelon explode at 4700 frames per second
When you want 223/556 to be a deer cartridge really really bad.
Actually, given the extreme velocity of the WSSM, it would probably be a very poor choice for deer because, unless you're using a bullet with a much thicker jacket and controlled expansion at the velocities of this cartridge.
I know that Nosler now makes one of their Partition bullets in .224 diameter for those in states that allow centerfire rifles with that bore diameter on deer, but I'm dubious about whether even that style of bullet with its very good reputation could withstand this thing.
Honestly, you'd probably be much better off with a .223 Remington (good) or .22-250, as I believe the second cartridge was probably the one for which that particular Partition bullet was designed.
It's possible that the .220 Swift might also be suitable, but I'm almost certain that its velocities are the practical maximum for the Partition.
Remember: Bullets used on big game need to behave quite differently from varmint bullets, i.e. ideal varmint bullets fragment upon impact to deliver quick kills on small thin-skinned animals, while ideal bullets for big game will reliably penetrate medium to thick hide before beginning expansion, remaining intact as a single "mushroom" and destroying vital organs before exiting with nearly all of the bullet energy spent.
When you know shit about ballistics and talk.
So YOU'RE the guy who bought the WSSM...I wondered who it was!
"Wow! Look at that thing explode!"
The way he says it... something about the way he says it.
It's like he's trying to sell us on it...like an 2am infomercial
The 22 250 still the king of performance will be for long long time
You are exactly right Marty!👍👍👍
Marty. you are dead right
I haven't tried to drive my 25 WSSM harder than factory. There's a feel to the factory ammo that's impossible to describe but its telling me there's a very high pressure cartridge firing even though its at or under SAAMI specs. 62,000 psi IIRC
That is amazing! Now I love the .223 wssm!
Barrel erodes too quick.
You know you've got a winner of a UA-cam video when the phrase, "blown to bits," is uttered!
If I just use a larger round, I can do the same thing and not have to have a custom rifle made or buy specialty ammo from a single source.
Regular old 220 Swift is close to these speeds. 4300FPS, not over priced, and barrel life is about 2000 rounds.
The Swift came out in 1935 and featured a 48 grain bullet at 4100 fps. It will send lighter bullets faster, of course. I have exceeded 4000 fps with the common 22/250 as well.
This sounds like those old documentaries we watched in school back in the early 80’s.
One day I was walking past the rifle range when I spotted some really cool looking mushrooms
I can get .50 bmg ammuntion for cheaper... so overpriced
I know this is a 2 year old comment, but idc. That’s not how supply and demand works.
@@exratic5908 Yeah, it's so in demand, they went out of business..lololol.
Now let's see the hog hunting video of this round. 😃
It is like a complacent 223 cartridge that ate too many meals at Mcdonalds.
I'll stick with my 1943 .303 British! Plenty fast,bullet ranges from 150 I think was the lightest,up to 258 gr solids. A friend had some Winchester bullets and loaded me 10 of them. Hurt like a bastard but went through 3\8 or 1\2 inch steel from an old RR tank car someone used as a culvert. The 150 gr were some old surplus ammo I bought at a gun show. They were strange, because instead of loose powder they had cordite spaghetti noodles in the case!
When I can get ammo,I usually get 178 gr Winchester power points.
I mean if you're gonna have an odd ball gun(around here, nowadays) might as well have one that several companies still make ammo for.
And always check C.U.P.s it'll help stay safe. And if your targeting please wear a face shield. Your pushing some high pressure there young man!!!! That bullets cooking along!!!!!
Wow. And I thought my 220 Swift was fast.
It is: 4250 feet per second with 40 grain bullets, in safe FACTORY loaded rounds!
@@Duke_of_Prunes Very interesting. I have a Winchester model 70 with the extended barrel for target shooting. Incredibly accurate.
Man those bullets are thicc
My 17 squirrel shoots 3500 FPS with less than 7gr. of powder.
I played with speed but accuracy sucked. I used a sabot with a 22 bullet in a 308, 300 Win Mag and a 30-378 Wetherby cartridge. The speeds were insane but the twist of the barrel would not stabilize that small bullet. Some thin jackets and soft points simply vaporized in a puff of smoke as they left the barrel.
The expected barrel life is about 7 shots, so you need 3 barrels to fire a box of 20!
Sorry that was never a record. .220 Swift was rated at 5200 fps before 1960.
Eight Ball Talkin' Prove it.
Nope over 4000 no where near 5000
I own a Swift nowhere near 5k l load mine down to about 3600 and try not to get the barrel too hot. I treasure that one. Ruger M77 old style.🇨🇦🤠
I have a 223 WSSM ballistic silver tip I bought at a gun show for my collection. Crazy looking little thing.
Vs. 220 SWIFT?
.17 bmg :”let me intrude myself”
Sure saves you from having to spit out the pips
Someone needs to get this on slow mo. Hypersonic impacts are fascinating to watch.
There's a reason why the 223 WSSM is dead. It only gives 300 fps more velocity the my old 220 Swifts; its barrel life is extremely short; the short fat case is probably a feeding nightmare in bolt actions; and with a ballistic coefficient of .221, a 40 grain Nosler Ballistic tip is going about 3450 fps @ 200 yards. Even the lowly 223 Remington firing that bullet is going 3,000 fps at that distance. Basically, not worth the effort. About the only thing the 223 WSSM is good for is shooting watermelons, up close.
the amount of energy can be calculated with mass times velocity squared so the faster the bullet, the more destruction while mass will increase the energy but nothing compared to what velocity will increase it by
And your Barrel is already toast.
the funny part is this video was a sales pitch for a company.... haha.
This is not a world record , Remington made the velocitor line in the 90's they loaded 300 win. mag and 7mm rem. mag with a .224 diameter bullet using a plastic sabot like a muzzleloader (72 grain if I remember) both breaking 5,000 fps . A buddy bought some for coyotes out of his 7mm mag his chronograph was rated at 5,000 fps and when we tested them it just showed 0's like it couldn't read it .
Now boys and girls lets scale up to asteroid caliber, 100,000 plus fps, target,a planet
I've got a 219 zipper that shoots 4000 fps and if you don't use solid copper the lead disenagrates at those speeds.
would love to see the paper target group size to compare with the 75 gr 223
Best round since the old 220 Swift. I finally can set aside my old girl and use my new 223wssw what a caliber thanks to winchester for inventing this round and putting them back on top for having the fastest manufactured round again.
swift is still awesome and rounds are easlier to come by, but i might get a wssm ones of these days
220 swift will shoot tighter all day long.
Also 300 win mag with published data and sabots like the old remingtin accelerator rounds can get up to 5500
This is your brain on bullets
I’m pretty sure these are the bullets Marvin the Martian used in his vaporizer gun.
I’m going to have to disagree with you, my 22 Swift is 4300 ft./s it’s one of the worlds fastest!
Yeah same I have a 204 ruger and i hand load my shells and it runs about 4550
Yeah...I like my 220 Swift, too -- it's built on a Pierce single shot action.
Have a Mauser 98 custom, semi bull bbl, in 220 AI Swift that rocks 4400plus...likes a 63 gr8 and a little slower fps
204 Ruger👍
@@deanbenson6879 Never heard of an improved version of the Swift. Sounds like a beast!
Time to bring the wssm back. Come out with a 6.5 factory round. Dtech is keeping the torch alive all by himself since Olympic bailed.
Would love to see a Pdog hunting video with that round, lol!
I shot a wildcat I made by necking down a 270 case to 224. The rifle now has over 3000 shots through it using the same GS Custom 40gr HV bullet. It still holds under one inch at 100 yards at 4700fps at the muzzle. GSC HV bullets allow no gas leakage past the bullet and gas leakage eats barrels. Friction of the bullet and barrel contact is greatly reduced because GSC HV bullets are drive band bullets as opposed to smooth or grooved bullets. It makes a big difference. To those that say there is no record: Do you know of any other 223 WSSM that goes 4700fps? I am not talking about another cartridge, only about 223 WSSM.
It's good that I found them. I am from Argentina, I have chambered scultz and larsen 22 lr twist 1:16 to 22/270 and I shoot the 55 SMK tips without problems, I will chamber a valmet of the same twist and it does not work with the 55, it has the same twist... what happens? I can't get tips of 40, any recommendations?
once someone creates a c4 powered rifle , 5-7000 fps rifles will be common.
The US army did a test a few years back using a stainless steel barrel, I can't remember the cartridge, but they put 25,000 rounds thru it with, if I remember correctly, no appreciable wear. Maybe this is the answer for these ultra velocity round.
That's bull
join your local militia
You really need a barrel made from a Tungsten/Titanium alloy to survive a decent amount of barrel erosion with that screamer...
And thus the mellon wars began. After decades of brutal warefare, we were forced at gunpoint to accept the mellons as our conquering masters...
That watermelon...
Dude, in ESP Darth Vader said: "No disintegration". Man!
You need to see if you can get a shoot with a youtuber that has a high speed camera hahaha.
Wow, the "unsuspecting" watermelon was unwillingly turned to slush!
The barrel has a right hand left hand twist to stabilize the projectile so it won't go back in time
That's the definition of a wildcat round lol thats fucking intense. It produces the same muzzle energy at 200 yards as a regular 223 at the muzzle
I guess if you need something good at making watermelons explode, this would be it
Shot a trophy buck with one, dropped it like a rock
If that's your favorite weapon then like I said use a different powder!!! Or projectile weight. In rare cases you can actually achieve a higher velocity with a slightly heavier projectile given everything else is the same. But and I warn keep an eye on your ballistic coefficient. Please don't get a face full of shrapnel!!!!
I'm pretty sure those things go so fast that they suck whatever they hit into a wormhole.
I wish I got paid to experiment on new guns and cartridges
Just like the 220 Swift the barrel will not last very long which makes this mostly useless . The more you shoot it the worse the barrel becomes. It's big waste of money. 243 Winchester is just fine for me.
I'll take a 243 over a 22 50 any day
I'm satisfied with my .223 rem. don't need such tremendous speed and also the need to be replacing barrels. 223 rem ammo I can buy in just about any sporting goods store, I'm sure that this high speed ammo would be hard to find.
There are ways to mitigate Barrel erosion, but that much powder is a clear over bore and throat erosion is going to be accelerated tremendously.
You win this round.
Little do you kids know, you can shove pulled 5.56 AP tips in these
Bet this round is devastating to all but those trophy-sized watermelons.
It might have been fun to put cardboard sheets behind, above, below, and to the sides in order to get an idea of bullet fragmentation.
That barrel length is no way burning all that powder
Would have to be a fast burn powder. Longer barrel would benefit slightly.
Now that's a wildcat
I've had one for years around 60 rounds through the gun only gun I've ever shoot that you see the impact before the recoil. Hard to get ammo for though. I'm sitting on the last 160 rounds I have but for special occasions. All I have a uncle that's a gun smith so if or when the barrel is fried I'll get a new one. But I hate the action of the model 70 with its controlled round push feed
you may have made the watermelon explode better than him, but his videos are better.
That is fast, my Darwin, that is quick!! I can image that barrel doesn't last.
Geez. Nasty little round! I thought my mini 14 was bad ass
And a new barrel every 15 shots!
Why dont you do a allistics gel test with it !!
alexander goetz yes please, with super slow motion too!
