jim c 351 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) It was Col Walter R, Walsh who discovered that the 351 Winchester would only penetrate the front of Slim Greys bullet proof vest. The Col was a legend in the FBI and US Marines. He died at 106.

I believe it was Col Walsh who discovered that the 351 would only penetrate the front part of a bullet proof vest, only to come to rest in the rear panel. However, that did the job.
