At my brother's friends farm, there is a 5/8" steel plate that people have been shooting at for a couple of years now and while rifle rounds make a significant dent, nothing has penetrated yet. It sits at the 100 yard line.
I told my brother that today, we were going to kill it, and while others scoffed and said we'd need a cannon, I assured them that good old black tipped 30-06 fired from my Garand was all we needed. Since this plate regularly gets pelted with 308, no one thought that I had any merit to the 30-06 penetrating.
No problem at all for the black tip. We put several more through just to make sure it was good and dead.
Good times.
