HammerPenetration of Bullets
Seems like I remember years ago that ammunition manufacturers reported performance as penetration into number of inch-thick pine boards. Maybe it was just for pistol ammo. Think I saw it in old reproduced Sears catalogs.
Does anyone else remember this ?
Is there anywhere (corporate or private) a comprehensive comparison of ammo performance
other than velocity, energy, and other calculated numbers ? Something like penetration in a standard...

470 MbogoHi Hammer,
I just put up a post on the Big Bores Forum that shows some interesting penetration results also.
Take care,

500grainsNorbert Hansen's website has good information on this topic and on the superpenetrator solid.
