What sort of damage do you want to do? |

I assume you meant NOT damaging the targets. The number one factor in causing damage is velocity, as well as shooting AP and/or penetrator type bullets. The most damage done to my steel plates were done with .22-250 soft points - all due to the velocity I'm sure. I'v shot Wolf and other lower-velocity FMJ at them without damage. |

As long as it is good quality AR400 or 500 it should take anything. The farther out, the less the damage. I set my AR500 plates up at 300 yds, and cant make a mark on them with lead core bullets. The M855/SS109 leave the tiniest divets in them. The closer they are, and the faster the bullet, and the milder (softer) the steel, the more damage will be done. |

That is what I use - and that can handle pretty much any .223/5.56 made. I will pock mork if you shoot it with high velocty stuff at close range, but you really shouldn't be shooting steel with a high powered rifle much closer than 100yds anyway. |
