[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1104388, member: 1656"] I am not sure why you think you have a safety problem. If you are hitting the gong more or less perpendicular and it's leaving a circular mark, it is likely that the bullet is destroying itself on impact. Steel gets dangerous when people use a cratered and pocked piece and not a flat one. What you've experienced is simple physics. A 120lb gong won't get knocked around any more than a similar weight person firing the gun, and far less at extended range. I'd second using a heavier bullet that makes better use of the cartridge's potential if you want better results at extended ranges. [/QUOTE]
