Just for grins, I think tomorrow I'll take a medium-warm hand loaded 130 grain Sierra SPTZ 30-30 and shoot and shoot one of my 1/4" plates and see what it does. (It's a single shot Topper) If it pokes a hole in it, oh well.

Shot the 1/4" plate yesterday with the 30-30 spitz. It didn't punch through, but made a dent in the steel that was just short of cracking through. But then again I was only standing 25 yards from it.
I feel pretty sure a 1/2" plate will deflect a hot 270wsm, but am also going to check into 5/8" plate as well and maybe increase the angle of one of my 1/4" plates and shoot it from a 100.
