Anybody every shot half inch cold rolled plate with a .470?


Yes, and it dings it, doesn't go straight through.


I think they were used to knock the plate over as opposed to kill the enemy sniper, and then this left them exposed to
counter fire.




500; interesting observation. You are the only one I've ever heard suggest this. You may be right.

I was always bothered by references to piercing the plate because from my shooting of steel with the .375 even at 10 meters {WARNING; DO NOT TRY THIS!!!!!} it just didn't happen.

Also, since the guns didn't remain in service long and since there was no corresponding development of a military round similar to the NE's, I suspect the whole concept, from practical field accuracy to performance was poor and the idea, tho it wounded great, was left to molder among the shell holes of Passchendaele...
