[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1759301, member: 110162"] I'm NOT smart.......but I regurgitate with the best of them. I say velocity is why you can blow through a metal medium without the object being thrown through the cardboard. In my years of studying magazine articles , one I ran across many years ago spoke to velocity and its effect on metal. A test was set up with a 1/2" plate and 3 rifles. A 45 70, 308, and a double shouldered 22 cal wildcat on an 06 case. The tank (45-70) was shot first at 100 yards. Its 405gn soft point etched a splat on the steel. The 165gn soft point from the 308 left a .30+ cal hole and created a rupture funnel in the steel that was about an inch in diameter. The 55gn soft point from the 22-06 blew a hole about 1.5 inches in diameter in the steel and a rupture cone that was 4" in diameter. Velocity is the magic ingredient in the feats your referring to.
