He mentions 100yds min for .308 variety rounds. 9mm should be easy, .223 FMJ you'd be fine at 50yds on a chain/non-solid mount.

Was at the Greenwater yesterday shooting a few .223 FMJ and 7.62x39 FMJ at 3/8" AR500 on a solid mount at 30yds. It definitely made some small gouches, but nothing devastating. That being said, I won't be shooting rifle rounds at my plates inside 50yds anymore, pure longevity sake.

Hmmm, perhaps I should invest in a popper then. Hard to hang a plate where I go.

The main issue with distance isn't as much plate longevity as it is safety. At 50 yards, a .223 can come back to you pretty fast. Jacketing etc has been known to bounce back and cause more than a few cuts.

A .308 isn't going to matter, velocity and ft/lbs wise at 50 yards compared to 100 yards, there isn't that much loss of speed.

DONE!

I had 3 pounds left over, so I ordered myself a 2.5-pound triangle. What the hell.

I now have two separate orders, one at 70 pounds even and one at 69.5. It doesn't get much better than that!

Please consider this group order *CLOSED*. Thank you, guys!

Thank you Steve for taking this on. I sure hope your secretary doesn't screw this one up...

edit: nvm... i didnt see theres a 2nd page for this thread

Thanks for being honcho!

Thanks for the orders guys.

We will do our best to have this order shipped by the 31st of Febuary. LOL, I mean the 29th of August,

Have a blessed day and thank you for the support to our youth ranch. Proceeds are going to programs for our youth, so its much appreciated.

A Oster, I was shooting a 7.62x39 yesterday at 50 yards and proably shot one of my 40% IPSC targets 500 times between the 5 of us shooting.

I saw lots of little dimples, but nothing to be worried about. For the most part it just knocked the paint off. I would say, the .223 would likely cause the most damage at 50 yards. Just because its going so fast and its such a small bullet. 9mm and pretty much any handgun will be fine for a lifetime of use.

BUT, like what was mentioned earlier, safety is our first priority. SO stay safe,

Thanks for your interest in our products.

LOL . . . PayPal sent, we are officially ordered!

And . . . it's been shipped! I just got the notification.

Thanks, Jake!

That means ours should be in a few days as well!

OMFG SO COOL!

Hey guys, I do have the targets; they arrived last Saturday. Sorry I haven't been in touch with all of you, but I just moved and I still haven't gotten my "real" computer up and running that has the spreadsheet on it with who ordered what and the final tally.

So anyhow, I do have the targets . . . if you want them now, let me know. Otherwise give me a few more days to get the computer going, and I'll put a coat of white paint on the targets too. They come unfinished, with a wee bit of surface rust, so I'll brush that off and paint 'em up a bit to make them a bit more pretty.

no rush for me. just lemme know where and when to settle up/take delivery.
