Shooting steel

[Runswithscissors]

If anyone lives around the NE Georgia area, and likes to shoot steel, I just bought 200 lbs of plate for $10 cash. BESCO steel corp in winder, GA. they will let you dig in their scrap pile, which has at least 5000 pieces in it, anything from 1/4" to 1" steel, round and square tubing, plate, whatever you need. It isnt AR500 quality but at that price, shoot it full of holes then buy some more......

Can't beat that.

Just a word of caution, not armored steel will "crater"/dimple, making for wild ricochets, if you shoot it with a rifle you could get peeling jackets as the bullet passes through steel. Make sure to maintain 10m minimum distance.

Hey is Jimmy Terrell still Chief of Police up there in Winder?? He was our Sergeant Major in B Co. 3/11th SFG.

Not too sure about the police chief, i try to stay away from winder as much as possible, ghetto as hell. Ive got some smaller plate for pistol, and i definitly give myself room for ricochets. I will let yall know how it holds up against my mosin7.62x54 this weekend. Ive got 1" plate for it and a good 300m standoff from it. I only use gong style targets, to help absorb the impact and reduce the chance of lead returning to sender.
