"Penetration tests" Bah!!!!

I know Turkish 8mm will go through 3/4" steel plate at 75yrds

8mm will go through a lot of suff! Most of the large caliber rifles I have/had will do bad things to what you're shooting at.

Just carry a .45 because it's a one shot man stopper.

Good old 230 gr ball does fantastic things.

Penetration tests, like all good tests, first require a purpose. The best tests IMO are the ones that seek to answer a question.

Someone here on INGO once asked "Will bullets penetrate my brick-clad house?" No one had any real "street" examples, so we decided to test it for ourselves.

What we learned might surprise you-- it certainly surprised us!

The rifle rounds surprised me!
