I finished a new target today got it hung up and took some pics
I also bought a new 1022 slapped a scope on it zeroed it in on the new target so I won't be showing the front hits after that LOL
I think it will be a lot of fun from 50yrds to 200yrds for small bore.
The holes from top left to...

is it ok to use stainless steel media in a vibratory tumbler, I have a Lyman 2500, would this tear up the bowl? Also where can one acquire this type of media?
Thanks,

Got some armor plating and was told that it was AR 500, 3/8 inch thick.
So I had a friend cut a 18X24 piece, I welded up a frame drilled a couple of holes hung it from some chain and stuck it out at 600 yards.
223 left tiny dimples, thought I was good for the 300 WM. The 300 blew right through...
Shooters,
We will be gathering again on the 16th to smack some steel targets at various distances. Things are greening up now and the plates show up very well painted white. We will shoot the same format as before.

I would like directions to the steel city match, I will be coming down I-22 from Jasper. I work in Tarrant and I know my way around B'ham pretty good. I'll also need the start times.
I'm in the market for some long range steel targets, let's say out to 1000 yards.
My rifle is 0.75 MOA, but I've never shot it past 500 yards. My scope magnification tops out at 15x.
I'd like to buy some steel to practice that these longer ranges. What is a good size not only to see, but...
I am in the process of getting one of the new Rem 700 .223 5-R guns. I see that Robar has a finish for stainless steel where they blacken it. Does anyone have any experience with this finish as far as durability goes? Thanks.
We had 28 shooters come out to this months steel match. Thank you Shawn and Sam for running a safe and smooth match. Thank you to the guys that came out on Friday to setup the range and the guys that tore everything down after the match.
Looks like the COF was pretty tough on a lot of...

So I'm putting a new scope/base on my Savage FP10. The base is an EGW 25 MOA and the Scope is a Leupold MkIV. I'm going to use Leupold MKIV medium rings but my question is should I use aluminum or steel rings?
Thanks for your insight.
