[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 406228, member: 9253"] I was using the 55 grain saboted 300 WM to test the ability of small arms bullets to penetrate armor plate to be used on an experimental armored car. The armor being tested was a 6" x 18" x 1/2" plate of Heflin "Armor Gard". I had no trouble hitting the plate at 25 yards but I did not test it further for accuracy. I doubt it would win any benchrest matches. The little jacketed lead bullet left a hole though the armor by shearing out a 3/8" ragged cylinder of the armor which still had enough energy to be dangerous, but only a trace of the bullet itself penetrated the armor.
