[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 1219213, member: 79865"] My guess is it will hold up a bit better than cardboard. I think you might be shooting through it, but it might ring quite nicely. I haven't ever shot at any that thin or at the distances you are talking about, but I have hit a mild steel target frame (1/4") and 300yds and holed it with my 7mm-08 and a 139gr Hornady Interlock. If it was hardened steel and allowed to swing, it might do better. [/QUOTE]
