    Its not my rifle, its the neighbors.
    The neighbor shot a doe with it... @ 30yards blew out her neck back in November. Ill see of i can get a pic.


    I did shoot through 2 hogs with my 6.5 grendel with FMJs a few weeks back. Went through both hogs & a feeder leg...lol. View attachment 240941
    Whenever someone starts spewing bs about “boolit proof hogz” and proceed to tell me about their cousin’s boyfriend’s dad shooting a pig and finding a bullet lodged in the “shield”, the urge to do a facepalm is almost overwhelming.
    I simply explain that the recovered bullet in that pig passed through at least one other pig before coming to rest in the pig you found it in.

    Gotta be a bad heat treat...I’d be interested to see if that happens all the way across the plate or just in that section...maybe a uneven heat treat?

    I get mine either from


    or


    I kind of lean more towards Shoot Steel because their stuff is AR550. It's supposed to help reduce pitting. I just bought a 3/8" silhouette and a 1/2" 12" gong from them. I've been enjoying shooting those targets a lot.

    You can't really trust the Ebay and Amazon stuff.

    MOA Targets is supposed to also be good. The owner is active on one of the Discord servers I frequent.

    Shootingtargets7 is awesome. I bought a standing silhouette from there for my little cousin. The quality is very high. We were shooting it (3/8 plate at 100 yards) with 45-70 and 300WM and no pitting or dents at all

    Thats the only thing i can think of too. I just dont want to shoot up the rest of my steel finding out.

    Im just gunna stick with 1/2" on the rifle range. Ill fill the holes & grind em flush & stick back on my pistol range. Theyve held up to 7.62x39...but leaves a little ding. If you zoom in on the pic, you can see the dings to the right of the holes.

    I've got the cutting edge from a loader(955)and at 100 yards it only dents it
    My steel is at 100,200,300 and 500.
    I ain't good enough to hit the 500 but the 300 takes my 300win mag with no problem
    They are 5/8 thick and very hard, need to torch holes in it
