I have railroad tie plates that I shot through with the Swift. I would use them in Hunter Ed to show the kids how velocity trumped iron. I would take a 50 grain HP bullet and pound it into the tie plate with a hammer and show them how the bullet just mashed flat and didn't even dent the tie plate. Then I would show them the hole I put in it with the same bullet at 4000 FPS...

They were always impressed.
