[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 52110, member: 11"] Hello all. I just got off the phone with the man who runs the plant that my scrap T1 came from. He had some interesting info about this type of steel. He said that the "T" in T1 comes from Tank, as in WWII tank armor. It was designed to be shot at. He said that my 12" gong should do fine at 100 yards in front of my friends 300 win mag. In fact he said that if the round goes through that he wants to see the plate. Then he said that he has stuff that is tougher still (notice that I said tougher instead of harder). It almost sounded like what he meant was that if he was wrong that he would make me a great deal on an upgrade. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] He also sells scrap @ .10 to .20 cents per pound. That seems like a heck of a deal. I will be certain to let you all know how the gong popping contest goes this weekend. [/QUOTE]
