- Don't forget to try the .223 SS109 round.
- Althugh not a "true" AP round, you'll find that the carbide "pennetrator"
- does quite nicely. :)
- I have done some unscientific experiments using 1/2"-thick aluminum
- (a very HARD aluminum alloy I got from a factory. the plates were used in
- some sort of machinery fixtures) plates, one in front of the other.
- The SS109 and chinese 7.62x39 steel core will go through 3+ plates@ 25 yards.
