re: Isn't a 30-06 round armor piercing?

Could you wear them under a normal sized white t shirt and spur a serious debate about whether or not you were carrying plates?

Exactly. This is so stupid.

I just felt like some first hand opinion was warranted around here.

And do the plates have cut outs for nipples?

Armor piercing ammunition uses bullets that have steel or tungsten penetrators in them. FMJ is just a jacketed lead bullet.

I stand corrected. Like I stated, don't get the bullet loaders talking.

I would be surprised if a non-NATO was FMJ or armor piercing. 30-06 is not a NATO round. Most of the commie block sold ammo (cheap) after the wall fell was 7.62 steel core and corrosive. Also came with SKS and AK's cheap. You could also buy a brick of .22 federal hollow points for $8.88 at Walmarks.

I have not bought ammo, except shot gun shells, since the Clinton era. Still have plenty.

I have shot a 30-06, Ruger American with Leopold var 111 scope forever. The effective range is really 150 yards

A .308 which I have in a AR model shoots much flatter

It’s a lot like a nine millimeter it will blow out your lungs just stick to something safe like a shotgun

Purple Haze, the typical maximum point blank range for a 30-06 is 250 yards. Meaning out the crosshairs on a deer sized animal kill zone and pull the trigger - you don’t have to account for bullet drop.

The guy saying the range is 150 yards doesn’t know what he is talking about. He insinuated that a 30-06 bulletin drops like a rock but he is mistaken. For those who want to use a rangefinder and adjustable turrets, a 30-06 can drop a deer from at least 700-800 yards and probably more.

His comment about a .308 being flatter shooting also didn’t make any sense, considering the same weight bulletin fired out of the .308 and 30-06 comparing apples to apples. The 30-06 at standard maximum pressures has more muzzle energy than the .308 and hence propels the bullet out faster, meaning the 30-06 will go a further distance than the .308 with the same drop, meaning the 30-06 is the flatter shooting cartridge.

Reason I bring it up with this, lots of older rifles used to be zeroed @ 300 yds on default. What happens with that- point of impact will be higher than point of aim inside 300 yds. You aim center chest @ 175-200 yds with something zeroed @ 300, you get impact higher, like the neck.

There’s a video explaining the shot from a sniper’s perspective. He mentioned shooting down on a slope with gravity is different from shooting on a level plain. He said gravity tends to bend the trajectory more as opposed to firing a shot in a level manner.
