Like I said, test some Euro ammo.
I shot a 55 gal drum with W-W 25 ACP. It punched a large 3/8-1/2" hole in one side, and only dented the other! Turned out the slup was lead with the Lubaloy jacket, which is really just thin copper plating.
The same day, I shot some of the early S&B that had the nickel plated STEEL jackets. BOTH sides of the drum looked they had been punched with a 1/4" punch, barely deformed or rolled inward. The slugs were too deep in a clay bank to dig out by hand.
You would not wear that S&B round home.
