Steel Target Build

[[cerberus]]

Not my car, that is my buddy's shop. He has the welding equipment and set me up right. I believe it is a 1970 Chevelle. He helped me weld, I helped put the engine back in and mate it with the trans.



Thanks for the info cerberus. So on that pic, how deep are those craters from the .223? If I did not want that to happen should I go with 1/2" instead of the 3/8"? I will be shooting at these from 30yds - 300. Action shooting and training.

I just saw this, the thicker steel will not make it better since the steel is cratering away from the surface but not fully penetrating. If you were getting large dents or holes than going thicker would reduce that. Surface cratering is only solved by slower FPS of the bullet or harder steel.

Those detentes are maybe 1/16" deep. Not very deep at all but they are very visible.
