[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 184898, member: 8843"] A piece of 3/8 T1 plate would work for must of the rounds at 500yds untill you start pushing realy high velocity rounds at it. AR500 is better but cost a bit more. At a few places I have shot they used old flanges from large pipelines they are generaly about an inch thick and when they are suspended from cables or chain they last alot longer. If you can't find any T1 or AR500 that I would just use two piecs of 3/8 bolted together with a piece of 1/2" plywood between them , this laminated effect will destroy the bullet enough with the first plate to keep it from passing through and the playwood will allow the energy to dissapate alot so that the second plate doesen't get damaged to bad , but you are still gonna have to replace steel everyso often , the only problem with this setup is you don't get that awsome THWACK when the bullet hits its a much more muffled WHOP [/QUOTE]
