Sorry- there are too many variables to give you a simple answer. Depends on which bullet, fired by which rifle, at which wood, at which distance, at what angle. Depends on civilian .223, or military 5.56mm. The military round at 25 yards will penetrate more than one dozen 3/4 inch thick pine boards when hitting at a 90 degree angle. That is more than 9 inches of wood.
