[QUOTE="JDD, post: 2396660, member: 102774"] Steel is a different animal so to speak. I shot 3/8 and 1/2” plates with 375 and 416 mags with barnes tsx in training at 300 yards big dents but no shoot through. 223 AP will zip through. Velocity is what kills steel, hard cores of thin dia. 500 gr 470 and 500 gr 505 gibs make big dents and want to bounce back. Do not shoot steel with large heavy bullets under 2500 fps or any speed at 100 yards and closer. It will come back at you. It may not break up especially mono core or dangerous game bullets. Especially on softer thick steel. The more the steel dents the more luckily a bounce back!!!! [/QUOTE]
