[QUOTE="edge, post: 210993, member: 5030"] IMO, shooting a bullet at steel almost always results in a splat or an almost perfectly round hole. I bet that the steel being so tough, surrounds the bullet and tends to hold it in a columnar shape as it drives straight through. The drywall, on the other hand has no such compressive ability. I don't think that I can stabilize the AB at low velocity since my rifle is a 1:14 twist. Perhaps when the weather breaks here I can try to shoot a reduced load into wet newspaper. If I can launch it at 1500 fps and it is stable that would be about 750 ft/lbs. If it hits nose first I guess we will have our answer. edge. [/QUOTE]
