So, I was rummaging around in the garage tonight abd found this 1/8 inch think piece of plate. The hole in the piece is from a 100 Gr BT out of my 250-3000 Savage. The other three shots were taken with Federal Premium Barnes Expander 12 ga slugs. If you look at the left side of the pic you can see that the steel was bent significantly by a couple of the shots (marked with a green sharpie). The Remington slug is there for comparison. However they were ineffective compared to the BT! The rust is from riding around in the trunk so I could "prove" my little 250 was more effective than a 12 ga slug. All shots were taken at 50 yards. MV on the 1 oz slug was @1400 fps. MV from my 250 is @ 2800 fps.
