One of the Steel Challenge stages - with distances detailed.
If the dimples are shallow - just turn the plate around and shoot at the backside for a while.My .44 handles the 3/8" plate just fine but the plate is dimpled from my other .44 (the Dirty Harry kind) Is it still safe to use?
I’m RSO at a range and they want to add steel plate so folks don’t have to go down range in the winter. The range is 50 feet. Anyone have any experience with steel plate and muzzleloading. Not sure if I should go 3/8” or 1/2” thick. I was also thinking about suspending targets with chain. Any advice would be appreciated.
.375" will dimple at 50yds. At 50ft.(which is too close for comfort) I would go .5" mild steel or .375" AR500 and hang it close to the ground at downward angle using chain. That will direct the splatter into the dirt.
