Good Hunting mate

[<<Genesis93>>]

Is it AR plate?
Whatchagonna shoot it with...

[Strikey]

Is it made from Bis 400 or better because that will give a nice ring or if its mild steel you should make some nice holes, good fun either way

[deye243]

Gunna shoot it with a 7mm mag but it wont put a hole in it as it will be a grand or more this is a 5mm plate at 1200y

Picking up some 450Gr Hornady BTHP for the Barrett .416 tomorrow....they'd be a good test for that plate

[deye243]

Yep at 3000 yards


EDIT looks like 2100 will pull it up

[brett1868]

Yep, drops subsonic about 2100 yards but should make a nice ringing sound on impact

Nice target, I'd like a few like that myself once I get some lockup storage organised on my block. Was it plasma cut? How heavy is it?

nope i did it with a 9" angle grinder and AFAIK it would more than 60lb

i'm going out tomorrow for a CB shot at 1050y

Thinking you went through a few cutting discs Keen to see some pics of hits up close, I'm curious to see how much of a dent there is.

Luv your work mate, good stuff

[deye243]

this is at 750y bit of a divit but it will take 2 hits in the same spot but not 3 it's been welded up a couple a times

and the funny thing is that the 162 AMAX doesn't even dent it but the bergers do what is in the pics

That be some fine shooting.

Any work done to the Sendero or is it factory?

[deye243]

it aint an aussie sendero and i put a Jewell BR trigger and B&C M40 stock on it

[deye243]

It's been blowing here all day so it got me thinking how am i going to mount this thing in a portable

manner so after a while i came up with this 2 star pickets .

i also made a picket driver as well so now it only takes 5 mins to set up and 20 mins to get the

pickets out of the ground easy and cheap...

Google star picket removers, yo should be able to make one of them and then your pickets will come out with ease aswell.

And yo won't bend them trying to wiggle them loose

Lucky for me that AR2218 comes in 4kg containers and I've emptied quite a few of them. As a precaution, I always peel the labels off the containers before throwing them in the recycle bin.

Any chance of some video of hits? I'd love to hear how it sounds on impact

[deye243]

yes but every time i do something on movie maker it degrades the crap out of it like it was done with a 2MP camera

Thats why Brett uses Aussie propellant, he get an 'extra' 4 loads out of the tub, or 32 from the jug

[brett1868]

More keen to hear the sound then the pic...I've had ideas to see if I can find some old church or school bells to shoot. Set them a nice distance so they ring but not destroyed, could be fun me thinks.

Did you work out a good method of securing the target? I'm looking to see how you do it before making my own and any advice would be much appreciated.

uploading a 750y gong bash now if it don't crash on me

[deye243]

here is one with good gong hits the 2rd shot is a miss

i just listened to a few at 1000+ and the hits are hard to hear coz of the wind but i can put up a vid later of some hit if you want

I never tire of watching the vapour trails as projectiles arc onto target. I'll be asking Santa for some gongs this Christmas
