That 303 rumour was always floating around here, but I believe it is not likely. The dimples on my side armour are so evenly spaced that I thought it was part of the punching or straightening process. I guess I should try a .303 on a scrap piece of armour and see what it would really do.
I took a carrier front armour to a machine gun shoot a few years back. The only gun that would penetrate the front armour was the .55 boyes, and there was one small arms bullet (likely an AK round) which passes through near an edge. I suspect that the plates were torch cut and this may have weakened the first 1/2" of the armour.
