[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 913301, member: 61747"] After shooting a little at my steel targets I have a couple of things to think about. The 19" disc is not going to work for shots closer than 1000 for the 6.5-284. At 750 the bullets went right through it. Also, at 1080 one hit the leg of the stand and went through it. I am amazed that little bullet will punch through. The second target is good for distances 700 plus but the size is the issue. At 540 the craters in the steel are pretty deep but at 787 there are no craters. However the target size does not provide good feedback for misses during load developement etc. It seems a 2-3 MOA sized target works a bit better for spotting while shooting without a spotter. I think the guys shooting at larger targets with small POA dots are likely on the right track for training purposes. Shooting at smaller steel for purposes of Did I Hit It or Not makes sense once a shooter and rifle are tuned up and the idea is to strike the target on cold bore 1st round attempts. Just my latest observations. [/QUOTE]
