I found out a long time ago that 125 gr. soft point hunting ammo will easily pass through a 1/4" thick steel plate of cold rolled, at over two hundred yards!
This from an "obsolete" .303 British Enfield.

Virtually every center-fire soft point hunting cartridge on the market would be "armor-piercing" if evaluated only on the basis of it's ability to penetrate most types of "soft" armor, and many types of "hard" armor as well!

Whoa there tiger. Don't be callin' the .303 'obsolete'. My dad's 60 year old British .303 is one of the sweetest guns I have ever seen ... approx. 2moa, action smooth as butter, and with just the stock alone you could win 90% of the bar fights in the country.

As to the ammendment, I'll wait and read it before freaking out. It there is any momentum to start banning center-fire jacketed ammunition of any type, we have crossed the Rubicon.

This why I have 2 Enfields, and lots o bullets..
.303 isn't the most powerful cartridge out there, but it'll get the job done without breaking the bank or your shoulder.

If you think 125 grn sp hunting ammo will poke a hole, check out some 200 grn cupronickle bullets. I got some from a friend of mine and loaded 'em up to normal powder levels. Punched right through a 4 cyl. Honda engine block from 50m and ended up stuck in the frame supporting the bumper.
Kevlar vests ain't even going to stop it, much less a "trauma" plate or the cheese-ball armor the JBTs prance around in while "protecting' us from evil...
Amazing what 100 year old bullets can do out of a 90 year old rifle.
