A brief word on penetration of 30 caliber rifles. After the 30-06 was adopted by the US army it was tested considerably. A 30-06 using military non armor piercing ammunition is supposed to penetrate 1/2 inch of mild steel. Armor piercing ammunition, which has a steel core added to the bullet, is supposed to penetrate 1/2 inch of armor plate, which is hard steel probably similar to leaf springs. The 308 is a little slower and should penetrate a little less but in practice they are probably the same.
Penetration depends on velocity, bullet weight, and bullet construction, with velocity the most important. The Civil War muzzle loaders with large lead bullets would penetrate 1 foot of pine. If fired indide a house it would likely penetrate the walls. High powered modern rifles will do a lot more. Be careful out there.
