Thread: Home Target AR500

Just finished building this beast. Black plate is 1/2" AR500 12" across. about to go out and shoot it with the 30-06

Nice piece you shouldn't put a dent in that with a 30-06 plasma cut I'm guessing

Thanks, yeah plasma cut under water. Bearly puts a dimple the size of the dimple's on a golf ball at 500m

What does it look like now
mighty 30 06 shouldda cut a hole in it surely.

The frame is massive overkill.....I like it.

Not in that grade of steel, it's armour plate.

This ended up to actualy be 600 yards and took 9 rounds to connect , I had dialed for 530y at 10mph left to right, one round hit dead nuts on the frame and 6 hit the plate out of 20.I rubbed some of the lead splatter of the bottom ones for a better look.

Shot it some more today at 300 yards. lil more damage.
Im not sure why my pictures all end up different ways around

The ar500 is pretty good I reckon, nice loud noise at long range.
