[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1991792, member: 78438"] Lots of back and forth, lots of opions on this. Shooting mild steel in general isn't a great idea from a safety standpoint. Know your target and beyond is one of the basic rules. If you don't know what your bullet is going to do when it hits a target at whatever range, velocity, angle,fixed or not, your breaking rules my 11 year old kid wouldn't break. If you don't know what happens when you hit the target, you don't know your target. I buy ar 500 at scap prices from a local fab shop, or about 50 bucks a ton. Most guys that own welding shops own guns and like gun owners, most are happy to help with this sort of thing, you just have to find one that uses ar 500. Look for guys that fix heavy equipment, they probably have some laying around. Don't try to harden the steel yourself, its not going to happen, zero chance of that. [/QUOTE]
