Yeah, put the stump and plate to good use. Going to see what I can drag down to the range if we can get a 50BMG out there.

You need to step up to a Level IV plate to stop Cal. .30 M2 AP. Level III plates are only rated for 7.62mm M80 Ball.

I know :) I had no intentions of expecting the M2 AP to be stopped. I simply wanted to blow through some hard ass steel :)

I wonder what my 308 AP reloads would do

I am not sure what they will do to vests, but I have loaded up some AP loads in a .300 RUM.

They pretty much zip right through everything, except for thick AR500.
