[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 1168410, member: 1441"] If you are going to be shooting at 600 yard and up, AR400 should be fine. I have used steel that is around the same BN hardness and found that from about 600 onwards, it won't do any more damage than what you have described. Here AR500 steel doesn't exist so I have had to do some testing and use Hardox, which is used for the same purposes. It comes in 450 500 and 600 hardness, and obviously the 600 stands up to even close range shots, but the 450 (which I understand is about the same as AR400) in a 5 - 6mm sheet will let bullets right through at 300 yards, while at 600 it dents it slightly and over time has bent the whole sheet into a concave shape, but continues to work.
