    Default What steel do you shoot?

    Need some advice please guys. We are in the process of replacing steel at our club. Called some suppliers...that's when it got confusing. Bennox, Hardox etc. then the thickness's with no one being quite sure of themselves. Steel will be used for rifle, pistol and shotgun. Any and all help appreciated.

    farmer-el,

    me & my toppie made some steel for handgun & we used normal mild steel, 8mm I think. Works fine for handgun & shottie, but not sure on the rifle.

    AAMOI, a hot 158gr 357Mag load at 10 metres makes a small dimple on the plate, nothing else.
    Prone to random kindness, lecherous behaviour, imitating D-cups at speed and an outstanding sense of humour. If you don't agree, well fuck you.
