Thread: .308 vs 12mm steel

Be careful shooting steel as close as 100yds, minimum for safety is closer to 300 yds.

Really? Wow, I wouldn't have thought that. Ricochet's can come right back at you from 100yds?

It is a much much greater risk with mild steel/biz80 as you can see it buckets out the steel and turns the bullet inside out and returns the lot back at ya, good hard steel 400-500 grade and hunting projectiles driven at the speeds they work at will just totally splat and all energy goes out at 90 degrees from plate surface.
