405-gr hardcast (LBT WLNGC) over 63-gr of BP couldn't make it through a 1" plate of aluminum (6061) at 250 yards.
Not only broke clean through, but tore nasty, ragged holes in it.
Finally had to move up to a "gong" of 1" cold-rolled steel (less would have probably worked, but I'm cheap and didn't want to experiment).
Note, don't shoot at steel close up, it tends to shoot back :dgrin:
For safety, I don't shoot at it unless there's no one else at the range, no need for anyone to take a hit from such a beast. Sure is rewarding to hear that "BONNNNG G G G " from a 300 yard hit.
Anyone else shoot BPCR?
