[QUOTE="Brent, post: 2873, member: 99"] Luke, Just noticably less than the 300WM. Steel plate can be purchased at a local steel yard for cheap or free, just ask if they have any remnants and tell them what your using them for and you'd be surprized, they would probably just give you what you need, some will even cut it in the shear for you if you want killzone size pieces too. They get rid of some huge pieces from projects they just can't use up. Ask for some T1-steel remnants if they have them, they probably won't cut them in the shear for you because they are harder than mild steel, but you can shoot them closer without punching holes through them as easily. I've found them to be about twice as good. A 308 win at 2600 fps with 165 SGK's at 100 yards will not punch a hole in them, a 300 WSM will. Figure the impact velocity of the 308 at 100 yards and use this as a maximum impact velocity for others at greater distances, that is what I do. [/QUOTE]
