[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1990984, member: 1656"] Your big concern with mild steel is splatter coming back at you. Once you get a crater the sides of that crater point back at you and that's where stuff is deflected if you put another in that crater. I would not shoot it within 200 yards minimum. Someone did a paper box test once that captured the difference in debris spread between shooting a good flat AR400 plate and a cratered plate and the cratered plate was scary. The flat plate threw everything in a flat arc around the target. perpendicular to the target face. [/QUOTE]
