Re: Bullet trap for home gun range

Fwiw Dave, with my 30-06 at 150 yards, I was shooting targets and hit the stand I had made to hold targets. The material was 1/4" 4130, and it left quite an indent with a 180gr. bullet. There was no chance of the bullet going through, but then again, I would not want to see the material take 10 direct hits.
If it were AR500 in 5/8" ? I feel you would have your bases covered.
