[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 1216690, member: 1441"] Thanks Bravo, that tells me something. I had noticed the CEBs impact the steel differently, at times at 1250m(1367yrds) they don't even take the paint off with the 6.5s. I'm guessing mild steel will be ok even for the .408's. Thing is, a lighter plate should make a louder ring when it impacts, and in any event, with AR500 I can get away with a thinner (lighter) plate so the cost might end up the same. But then again, I highly doubt you will hear any ring from that distance. I'm thinking a 127" (1MIL) 2MOA(70") and 1MOA(35") are going to be good sizes for 2 miles? The ground in this location doesn't show hits very well so spotting is going to be hard, hence big targets. [/QUOTE]
