NJGunGeek1980 1 Posted May 29, 2014 So I just joined CJRPC i know in both the pits and other outdoor ranges we can use steel plates. Know for my rifles I obviously use AR500 plates but for my pistols do I really need ar500 plates can i use just simple mild steel at say 3/8" thick.

alec.mc 180 Posted May 29, 2014 3/8 ar500 will work fine for pistols. just keep a safe distance when shooting steel, especially for rifles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJGunGeek1980 1 Posted May 29, 2014 I know 3/8 ar500 will work heck 1/4 will work for pistols but i wanted to know about just regular mild steel or anything else that is less expensive then ar500 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alec.mc 180 Posted May 29, 2014 no, it wont last very long at all. It'll dimple quickly, and become unsafe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
