For those who might be wondering why that damage from the green tip is bad, it creates unsafe angles of deflection that can cause projectiles to come back at the shooter or others.
The problem I have with AR550 is that it's more brittle and doesn't stand up to long term usage as well and starts cracking almost always from the corners and hole for the target hangers. AR500 cracks as well, it just takes longer. I guess it's a trade off.... Have you guys heard of SR500? AR was designed for the mining industry where as SR was designed to be used in a ballistic setting and is said to handle repeated impacts and resist cracking better due to its ductility and hardness balance. I haven't had a chance to purchase it yet and try it.
I wonder what a 7.62x39 steel core round might do to the steel targets. Even though it's slower than the 5.56 the steel core would probably have more weight so I wonder if it would make any difference, or one of those 7.62x39 api rounds that behave like the infamous ralphus rounds(cant remember the name of them lol)
I have a 1/2 inch thick 10x12 inch AR500 steel plate that I want to use as a target at 50 yards and 100 yards with my 30-06 rifle. Since I do not want to damage my target, I am considering gorilla taping a 1 1/2 inch thick 10x12 inch pine board to the face of the steel target. How much do you think the pine board will prevent damage to the steel target?
And neither would kill a human and likely no bruises as well. All worked very well just as I thought they would. But the heavy weight is why most will not use them and exactly why I do !

Appreciate the real world tests... in comparing 500 to 550. Thank you.

That's correct, any deformation on the face of the target can lead to safety issues! Thanks @TheGunner11 👊

I appreciate you doing this demo, it’s helpful to see real life examples.
Just today received my 2 blowout deal targets and hangers. Can't wait to get them set up.
plate thickness??
Thank you for the information! I appreciate you taking the time to share!

Great video!
how thick are these plates?
AR500 is 3/8 and AR550 is 1/2 inch
And neither would kill a human and likely no bruises as well. All worked very well just as I thought they would. But the heavy weight is why most will not use them and exactly why I do !
Great video, was all rifle shots made at 50 yards?
Yes.
Is that the Tpost stands? Any promotion codes?
I always Google promo codes for the website that I'm ordering from. Almost every time I find a promo code
How tall are those targets?
The camera man needs to see a doctor. Breathing into the mic is so distracting from the video.
Product number for the Tpost stand?
