Any rifle without mag in the name and lead core bullets should be fine at 100 yards with 3/8" or thicker AR500. We've shot the MGM auto poppers at 100 yards with .308 and it doesn't bother them.
What? After all these years NOW you want me to start sugar-coating it?? LOL 
I've seen plenty of damage at the ranges I shoot at because folks think it is their God-given right to "tear up" some targets. I mean, after all, it's not their property that has to be replaced on a regular basis now is it??
You are right that education is at least part of the answer. However, there will always be morons who want to "tear up targets". There comes a point in time where it's just not economically feasible for a range to continue to offer a service that is abused and mistreated by a few irresponsible members. I'm sorry USSA has taken down their steel targets, but after working at a range for a couple of years I completely understand why they chose to do so.
There's always some idiot who messes things up for the rest of us.
(You need to come out of the woodwork more. I miss you guys!!
)Wow, well "tear" was a poor choice of words. I took you at your word and you said you and the "nice guy" wanted to "tear targets up". I don't recall ever being personally offended by anything posted here. I was, however, aghast at your apparent disregard for the property of others. You said what you said, I said what I said ... I don't like folks who deliberately destroy other folks' property to satisfy thei. what's to be offended about?
Just for the record, I have no problem with you being offended in the way I responded. It's okay.

Well, at least BB isn't opinionated Welcome to OSA, indeed.
Gotta side with BB on this one. Always leave the bay/lane you're renting in better condition than when you arrived. Treat property with respect. And report A-holes who are abusing said property to the proper authorities.
If you're fuzzy on the rules and regs, ask for clarification.

south carbine is not 100 yards. thats the prob
It's not?
Agree with BB. Paying to tear up statement was pretty douchey. It's the self entitled attitude of some members who see bullet holes going through the steel and still keep shooting them up that ruins it for the rest of us members. Certainly not cool.
No, not really. It is about 5 yards short from the front face of the bench tops to the RR tie line they have set up. Now...to the face of the berm....
ETA: That notwithstanding, it's close enough to 100 IMO.
According to the paperwork I have, 50 BMG is not permitted at all on the rifle ranges. Turn his ass in next time.
