I finnaly broke down and bought some steel targets rated for more than a 22lr round. My first purchase was 3/8" ar500 and according to the add I read I was under the impression it would withstand my arsenal. 22lr no problem, 9mm no problem, 45 cap no problem, 10mm started to crater it, 12 guage buck no problems but slugs defiantly cratered it. I knew enough not to shoot it with my rifles at this point. So for second purchase I bought 1/2" ar500 and am hoping this is rifle rated. I would like not to destroy these plates but would like to shoot them at different distances. Can anyone clue me in to whether 50yds would be to close with a .308 win. Is fmj ammo ok or should I limit to soft points? Thanks for any info and God bless and happy Easter. He is risen!
