How long has the apds been around? It that what the Israelis used to such lethal effect in the Yom Kipur war?
NATO pretty much quit using the APDS prior to the Gulf War and had moved on to the Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot (APFSDS). Probably what is actually in the picture. The actual projectile in flight looks like an arrow with fletching. Most are currently made of Tungsten, though depleted uranium is also employed and is very effective. The APDS was developed by the British toward the end of WWII, but I do not know what the Israelis were using during either the 6-Day War or Yom Kippur. I can testify that M1A1 main guns easily cut through T62 and T72 class MBT's well beyond the effective range of their guns.

Can't wait for the depleted uranium turkey loads to hit the shelves. :cool:
 
We call it the 6.5 BN35W (Bob Nelson 35Whelen). :LOL:

Can you hear my @Bob Nelson 35Whelen!!! Had to mention him so he sees it in his alerts.
I was baiting him a little. I haven’t learned the @ trick just yet. He would learn to love it if given the chance. It really comes alive with proper hand loading!

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
