Ha ha yeah it was awhile ago and I would not have believed it, if I hadn't witnessed it.

Was 3/4 of the projectile (k100 64gr) that hit him in the wrist iirc

Yup. Might even be steel core. Not 100 on that tho. Was the cheap Singaporean round we used instead of SS109 designed for 1:7 twist Nato barrels

Ok got ya. That pretty much explains it I reckon.

Mild steel and a solid or steel core bullet, hence potential for ricochets.

If you are shooting standard copper/lead hunting/target type bullets at hard wear plate type steel plates I don't think you will have to worry about ricochets.

Me and my mates would have shot hundreds and hundreds of rounds at our hardox 450 plates and every single one has exploded on impact. From 200 yards to 700 with 55g 223 to 162g from 7RM.

Using the hard wear plate is the key I think.
