Your dog undermined this nice explanation of yours. I had to laugh the whole time at the tail wiggling around.

What was particularly intriguing was the little black wagging tail behind the board. 😂. Great information though. Thank you!

I’ve had m2 ball copper jackets come back to the firing line from a damaged target at 100 yards.

So can i make armour plates with AR500 steel?
@JeffBradley-yu4tr Жыл бұрын
Is 5/16" plate something that exists? I'm shooting a mix of 9mm pistol and 5.56 rifle (M193 ball; not green tip), and it would be nice to save some weight on the plates. If 5/16" is available, I would be interested in trying that. (And I'm willing to pay full price to be a guinea pig.)

Thats crazy watching the bullet basically liquefy.

Brad... I have never shot a "lead" 5.56 bullet. Didn't know they existed. I shoot 62gr green tip penetrators. You make it sound as if I should not use your targets with my loads. Thanks

I know we discussed this via my website chat but for the benefit of others finding this comment. The green tip "penetrators" have a steel core which in my experience only causes slightly more damage to the steel. More importantly though is the fact that the steel core doesn't explode into a million pieces like a lead bullet does and will ricochet at odd angles. A dealer of mine hosts a demo shoot every year and they had to stop using steel targets because they were finding little holes and slits in their steel building 50 yds away from the steel cores.

You should never use green tip penetrators with any steel target ever. Not only will it permanently damage any AR500 ever made, it's also a fire hazard.

Does 2 1/2 inchers bolted together perform as well as 1 inch?
@AtlasTargetWorks 4 жыл бұрын
My thoughts... maybe? If the edges were welded together so there was no gap which would cause a bullet impact to simply fling the rear target back like a newtons cradle I think it would.

At my rage we has different stations for shooting that are number 1 to 5 at 25 yd 50 yd 100 yd . The numbers get shot and constantly replacing them. They sit above the target and honestly think the shooters do it on purpose. Would this be safe to use for numbers? Thanks

Cutting the numbers out of the same stuff as the targets would certainly make them last a lot longer!

So can you make body armour out of AR500 steel?
@AtlasTargetWorks 3 жыл бұрын
There are companies that make armor plates from AR500 but they use special coatings and they curve the plates.

AR doesn't stand for "Automatic" nor "Assault" Rifle either.

Reload de-milled green tip bullets in a 22-250 and I'll show you holes in all your ar500 targets and any of your body armor plates made out of it as well ...lol
