Default Re: US use of 57mm APDS

Wait, do I get it correct from the report that the 6pdr APDS was just 2pdr shot in sabot? That'd mean it didn't use as much precious metals as tungsten carbide APCR did, thus cheaper and easier to manufacture but with possible worse properties? Was it the same system with 17pdr APDS?
