    .308 vs 12mm steel

    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
