[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1108162, member: 90399"] I'm fairly certain it's real AR500 steel. I bought mine from a local place that is well known as having great targets. And in fact, I have a couple more friends that have been shooting at their steel targets from the same manufacturer for over a year and no problems. And one of the reasons I'm upset is because not only did I tear up my new steel, I also badly chipped my friends big expensive silhouette steel target (also sold as AR500 steel from a different manufacturer). Again, this was not even steel core ammo. It was lead core. But come to find out, it has a "bimetal" jacket. I had no idea. These are a couple pics of 2 of the many chips. (I was over 100 yards away when shooting). Where the steel was shot but not pitted was from a couple other rifles I was shooting yesterday.
