Armor plate

[kbs8ball]

Anybody have access to any AR500 armor plating, 1/4" thick? this is the stuff they use on brinks trucks.

lol... long range target practice 600 yards + it makes a nice ding sound on impact. and it can take .308 rounds with NO damage to the plate.
the stuff is way heavy for a mini.:lol:

At 600 yards can you hear it ding LOL? Do you often shoot at that range ?

yep at 600 yards you can hear the ding even with ear protection on. Im just starting on the long range stuff...Ive been shooting for many years at 100 and 200 yards never really tried the super long shots till the other day. My buddy is really into long range shooting. we were at the range on friday, we started on the 200...after a few hours we hit the 600 range. he goes ot me OK click your scope up 130 clicks..im like 130 thats alot of clicks. I reluctantly made the adjustment. took aim on the steel plate that was set at 640 yards right on the berm. I nailed it 5 times in a row...it was really cool hitting the target with my very first 600+ shot. I was using my AR10 with a 20X magnification scope. the plates he has are 12" X 20".....GOOD TIMES MAN

 

[kbs8ball]

I will be shooting at 600 very often now. I think its going to be my new addiction.

 

[kbs8ball]

After the shot it takes about 3 seconds to hear the ding.

I think they had a 300 yard range down in Camp Pendleton, Calif when I was in boot camp and they had a sharpshooter give a demonstration at that range .
I did OK at the standard 100 yard mark . I have a long time HVAC customer that is a retired senior VP of Leupold Stevens here in Beaverton, Oregon their main plant is just a few blocks form where I live. They make some fine scopes there.
Hope you can find that tuff plate. Steve

I have had the pleasure of shooting at this range. The rifle starts out at 300 meters and goes to 1000 meters. This is by far the best range I have ever been to.

Looks awesome. My buddy and I were talking about rigging up a camera and monitor to make it easier to see the hits. Thats whats nice about the plate, you can hear the hit.
Our range is nice but theres nothing automatic about it. 50 yrd ,100yrd, 200 and 300 meters, 300 yard and 600 yrd (640 to the berm) nice benches, covered shooting area. but ya gotta set your own targets.
