[QUOTE="grinnergetter, post: 344100, member: 9524"] I've never shot steel and am looking for better ways to keep it safe. I have ranges at 100-200 and 350 yards on my property. I'm shooting 22BR,300 WM and eventually 338 edge. Bullets are 55gr.V-Max for the 22...180gn.Partitions for the 300 and 300gn.SMK's in the 338. If I use quality steel and angle the plate downward a bit shouldn't it keep the jackets in the dirt also. I'm concerned with the jacket and trying to maintain some type of control as to where they end up. 200 yard target is about 150 yards from nearest structure...350 target is twice as far. Do I keep shooting dirt surrounded by concrete or is steel a reasonable backstop? Replacing paper is getting old. Thanks for any suggestions. Grin [/QUOTE]
