I did a test on bulet penetration.Loaded the M193 bullet in a .22-250 @3650fsp.I used old John Deere plow shares for the target,very tough steel.THe M80 7.62 load when fired from my HK 91 would not penetrate,sometimes the plow share would be broken in half -but no penetration.The M193 bullet blew 3/8 inch diameter holes through the plowshare every time.Looked more like a hole made by a cutting torch.

I load M855 bullets in a sabot @ 5000 fps in a .30WBY Mag(max load)
They punch a clean hole in 3/4 steel plate

Allways work loads up carefuly, watching for signs of excessive pressure.
