Probably has more "give" to it too. Not sure how to term that idea...surface strength?
Its hard ta measure but "30" is what I learned and have read as well. Ya cannot measure a bullet "thru" it. Ya need file it off BOTH ENDS as it compresses differently too giving false values.

But yea it can move and not be breached.

Flexible-ness? Up above I wrote I wouldn't be concerned until it got up to 50Bhn or so. I meant ROCKWELL! Duh!
