All of the 30-06 we had on the ship was AP, in M1 clips. (dated 1945)
My dad said that was all they issued toward the end of the war because
it would punch through almost anything. That was pretty handy in
street fighting. If several guys unloaded on someone behind a brick
wall, they would poke a hole in it and a 30-06 could punch through
lightly armored vehicles.

It’s amazing what AP 30 ought can do to 3/8 cold steel plate compared to standard FMJ
