Perhaps you'd care to provide a link so we can see just who's claiming this ? Was it here ??

because if it is it is the one and only place on the net anybody gives that data
Opinions vary and they are JUST opinions becasue the only people that know the real values aren't talking so anything you do hear or read is an estimate based on various math formulas
I have seen (1) ONE source that gives M829A3 960mm pen at 2km and it cites the Collins data as a source but Collins gives this
US M829A3 120mm DU 765mm at 2km (2003) (Russian estimate 795mm)
and as a coincidence or not entering 96 as a pen for our game will give a 2000m result of 76
I have also not been able to find any source data with those high ratings except for one that gave > 120mm M829A3 93cm @ 1km but that's it and that source was Chinese.
As for German DM53 fired from L55 gun I have see 810mm at 2000 m and 760mm so at least that's close
and for Charm 3 720mm at 2km so it's in the ballpark as well and for the french OFL120F2 DU 647mm at 2km.
almost everything has a range of pen values that is at least within a reasonable limits of error except some of the reported M829A3 values
