This 11/16 thick steel railroad tie plate was hit with two rounds from my .50 cal browning from a distance of 100 yards. The impact pocket in the middle is from a blue tip incendiary bullet (no penetrator) and the one high right with a pencil thru it was an armor piercing incendiary bullet.

100yd is a little close to be bouncing .50 cal bullets off steel plate.

ummm yeah

100yd is a little close to be bouncing .50 cal bullets off steel plate.

What type of steel? That will have an enormous effect on penetration.

Not even a contest with that type of steel and that distance.

Ball ammo will do that, with no penetrator. I fired at a 3/4 inch hardened steel plow cutting edge using ball at 100yds and it shattered the piece like glass into half a dozen pieces. Lots of energy.

Remember, a fifty is effective as far as you can see to adjust fire.

Good pics!
