[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 508130, member: 21068"] Here's what a light barrel 25-06 will do to steel at 300 yds. One cold bore shot on the bottom plate. The bottom is a new 6" AR500 plate. The one fresh shot is from a 100 Barnes TSX going 3210'/sec from 300 yds away. The other dimples close to it were shot with a 204 and 32grn accutip going about 4000'/sec from 100 yds away. The majority of the craters in the upper plate (softer steel, but 1/2" thick) were made with the same 25-06 and same load. Usually shot from distances of 300 to 500 yds. The 100 grn Barnes does more damage to the steel than a 117 grn SST does. The complete pass throughs were with 7mm magnums and bigger calibers at distances of 100 to 300 yds. There's one big pass through hole that was made with a 338 Edge and 300 SMK at 2850'/sec. from 400 yds away, but I don't recall which one it is, upper right maybe. [/QUOTE]
