Thread: What's the go with AR500 targets and distance?

I’ve had my plates torture tested with 300 rounds of 223 and 308 at 50 meters with very minimal face damage or putting. Was also compared to the gun city ones that they now sell instead of mine and their AR 500 plate had severe surface damage.
White target is the guncity one at 50m
The red one is mine at 50m. It did take 6 hits on the edge which eventually cracked the bolt hole as it’s the weakest point. The next lot will have the hole a bit further in.

This was .270 and .308 at 170m, no damage.

How thick is the steel on your one designed for .223, 308 centrefires etc? Man that GC one doesn't look to healthy.
