[QUOTE="Bear Camp, post: 1188265, member: 43472"] It's all about speed! As the saying goes "speed kills steel". Ive shot 1/2" AR500 plate with a 50 BMG loaded with 750gr A-MAXs at 100 yards. All it did was bend the steel pole the plate was attached to. That bullet was only leaving the barrel at 2,650 fps if I remember right? Unscientific here, but I think it's the heat of the higher velocity rounds that damage the steel? [/QUOTE]
