Put some rounds through my rifle today at 100m. First pic is 12mm mild steel plate, 155gr Lapua Scenars almost went through, only about 2mm left at the bottom of the crater and severe bulging, the hole in it was done with a AP round out of the same gun.

Second pic is 12mm bis alloy, Scenar didn't even dent it, armour peircing round went straight through it. Need to find some more AP rounds :thumbsup:

Bizalloy is varied.
Do you know the exact grade ?

Were the AP, incinderary savage or is that just in the 50?
Does this mean your finished with my range finder and I can have it back for my next hunt?
Unsure of grade, just wanted to show the difference between mild steel and biz. Had a couple of AP rounds so wanted to try them out, bloody surprised they went through the biz so easily. Would be great on engine blocks.

+1 but last time I said that I got crucifiedQuote:

Damn would love to find some 303 AP rounds. I have a mate with 120 acres and it has 4 trashed cars on it. Would love to see how far it would go through an engine block. Subsonic .22 rounds clear the door panels so easily.
Can you try a AP on a bit of the thick biz please savage, would-be very interesting to see.
Really? Wow, I wouldn't have thought that. Ricochet's can come right back at you from 100yds?Quote:

This is fun, heres a pic of my gong 12 inch 10mm brinel 450 steel whatever that is, seems pretty hard. The big dents are a 300 win mag at 100 yds 165 gr A max I think. Too busy telling him off to take much notice. Its had ss109s pumped at it and steel core 7.62x39 just a mix of tiny dents as a result. Other cals with hunting projs don't seem to do a thing. Usually lives at 300 m but sometimes you have to stalk in closer just because you can.Attachment 35373

Forward?
towards bullet at top.
Yeah so top is closer. Loosely hung too so it swings straight away. Smaller target at range though when your lobbing a 308 like a mortarQuote:
