[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 1428082, member: 880"] AR500 1/2" plate and the only problem you will have is keeping the welds to stay intact. Give them a slight downward angle so the bullets don't hit flat and your golden. Probably the hardest thing I have seen on steel targets are rounds like the 22-250, 220 Swift they tend to punch little holes, it's a velocity issue hitting a very small point on the target. FMJ stuff is normally ok but not a great fan of it hitting plates in 22 cal. Anything with a penetrator in it well you do the math LOL We don;t shoot rifles at ranges closer than 300 yards due to well it's steel and that lead hurts when it hit ya coming back from a bounce off. Pistol stuff uses a different material can't recall off the top of my head but it's not as hard some stupid reason and dont quote me but I'm thinking 1018. Later, Kirk [/QUOTE]
