[QUOTE="jmden, post: 232523, member: 1742"] [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/search.php?searchid=265987[/URL] I'd go with 1/2" AR500 for a very long lasting target. I have a 1/2" mild steel 18" by 18" plate and won't shoot at it with a 240SMK at 3K MV at less than 1/2 mile. Even at that I get 3/16" to 1/4" deep craters and bulging out the back at each shot. I had a nice flat piece of 1/2" mild steel until the first shot at 1/2 mile warped it... [/QUOTE]
