I created this post to serve as a reference point and a reliable repository of information on the various 105mm APFSDS rounds available on the market.
I’ve compiled an initial list with performance estimates for some of the most well known projectiles. I hope some of you here can help me correct, improve, and complete it with as much reliable information as possible.
Note: LOS = Line of Sight armor thickness at 60°.
Preliminary list:
M900:
520–540 mm (0°)
~260 mm / 520 mm LOS (60°)
M900A1:
520–540 mm (0°)
~260 mm / 520 mm LOS (60°)
M428:
480–500 mm (0°)
~240 mm / 480 mm LOS (60°)
M426:
440–460 mm (0°)
~220 mm / 440 mm LOS (60°)
M1060A3:
480–500 mm (0°)
~250 mm / 500 mm LOS (60°)
M1060CV:
540–560 mm (0°)
~280 mm / 560 mm LOS (60°)
OFL 105 G3:
420–440 mm (0°)
~215 mm / 430 mm LOS (60°)
L64A4:
310–330 mm (0°)
~155 mm / 310 mm LOS (60°)
XC127 Excalibur:
430–450 mm (0°)

K273:
380–400 mm (0°)
~190 mm / 380 mm LOS (60°)
K274N:

~225 mm / 450 mm LOS (60°)
DTW2 105-II:
460–500 mm (0°)
~240 mm / 480 mm LOS (60°)
DTC02-105 (BTA2):
550–600 mm (0°)
~300 mm / 600 mm LOS (60°)
Type 93:
450–470 mm (0°)
~230 mm / 460 mm LOS (60°)
I’ll be reading your comments and hope you can help me correct and improve this list, taking into account the penetration formula used in WT (Lanz-Odermatt)
