Boy, I hope that's thick enough. I built a swinger (welded to two lengths of chain) and Wolf .223 would punch through it about 25% of the time at 100yds. The front plate is about 3/8" thick. It would then fragment upon hitting the back plate. I also shot it with .308 ball......bad idea  Put a BIG hole in the front (upwards of half an inch, lots bigger than the actual bullet) and then fragmented on the back plate. It almost flipped the damn target over...........Needles to say, this swinger target is relegated to pistol only status from now on.WIZZO |
