Armor piercing rounds are made in varius calibers or mm, the most common are 308 7.62x54, 50 BMG, 416 Barrett, 408 chi tec....Armor piercing rounds as a whole or copper coated on the exterior and steel core rounds often used by Military or police snipers. Now as for armor piercing for lets say Tanks or tracked perssonel carriers then most larger caliber such as 105 mm and the M1 Abrahms 120mm fire depleted uranium sabot rounds capable of piercing any known armor to date.

Further, it will depend on WHICH body armor- it is made in several grades. MOST soft body armor is intended to stop handgun ammunition, not rifle ammo.

What bullet is able to go through body armor?

Any cartridge could potentially go through body armour. There are several categories of body armour, each geared to a specific type of threat. The body armour which is meant to be worn under clothing without looking conspicuous is typically only capable of stopping pistol rounds fired through pistol length barrels, and can often be easily defeated by the same cartridges fired through rifle length barrels and rifle cartridges. Soft body armour has this limitation. The classes of hard body armour are rated to be able to stop up to a .30-06 or comparable cartridge. Dedicated armour piercing rounds are designed and made from materials which will prevent their expansion after impact.
