[QUOTE="jpd676, post: 1555103, member: 27751"] Speed is what kills steel targets. 1/2" AR500 targets suggest anything at or above 3000fps is a problem and will mark up your targets. I was at the range a few weeks ago and a guy pulled out a new AR500 target to shoot at with .223/5.56. I told him about the speed being the issue. He shot some mild reloads under 3k and the target did fine. He then shot some hot loads with 55gr going around 3100 and it dinged the hell out of his target. [/QUOTE]
