When shooting a .22lr semi-auto rifle made by any of the mainstream US firearms markers (marlin, savage, ruger...etc) and when using high velocity (NOT hyper velocity) ammo (mini-mags, winchester super-X high speed, RWS 100), what kind of materials penetration can we expect?
For example, can a mini-mag hollow point penetrate the following at 30 yards:
1)20 sheets of paper.
2)1/4" of plywood.
3)1/2" of hardwood (oak)
4)normal wooden door
5)4mm thick mildsteel plate
6)6mm thick aluminium plate
7)sliding door of a delivery van
Will the penetration be greater with copper jacket LRNs?
Some of my friends and I are thinking of doing some plinking at a scrapyard owned by my distant relative, for safety reasons, we want to construct the best backstop possible.
