who here can tell me what caliber and load/bullet will give maximum penetration into water at an angle of 15 degrees or more? Assume no chance of a richochet hitting anything but more water(ocean) I heard from someone that a 30.06 gives the best performance, I don't know from first hand experience, and would like to here from all the experience on this forum. | ||

Sorry, I've no first hand experience, but an old NRA Fact Book says the U.S. Army ran some tests in WW-II. The military FMJ penetrated best (of course). To be safe from the .50's, you needed 5 ft of water. From .30's, you needed 2 ft. The muzzle velocities were about the same for both, but the sectional densities were about .39 and .23. You might be able to make estimates for this. | |||
