[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 42809, member: 25"] Brent, We shot steel this past weekend also. I tried some pieces 2'x4' by 1/4" hanging at a 20-30 degree angle out at 7 and 800 yards. The smaller calibers didn't do any damage (.22-250 & .220 Swift, .25-06) but the .308 did a fairly good gouge. No crater, just a ding that showed on the backside. No big deal, if the entire plate starts to bow I will just reverse it. Sure is easier to lift a piece of 1/4" plate. I would be willing to bet that your background scenery is MUCH prettier than our flat-*** prairie. We had the targets down in a coullee to contain the bullets. I heard of a guy who hung an old car hood out at 1000 and beat on it with his rifles - would probably work OK, not sure. [/QUOTE]
