[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3588085, member: 5412"] USPSA and The Steel Challenge Association recommend a minimum of 23' between the shooter and the steel for safety which is closer than your incident. I have shot thousands of round of everything from .22 rimfire to .40 to .45 ACP and been around tens of thousands of shots at that steel for many years without seeing anything but some tiny brass fragments coming back. Steel plate manufacturers recommend a downward cant on the plate so the splatter is dispersed down and away from the shooter. One incident I experienced when new to shooting was shooting at mild steel with a high power rifle at 30 yards It created a crater and sent the entire splatter right back at me. In your incident, did the steel dent where the bullet hit the steel? If so it wasn't AR-500. What bullet used? [/QUOTE]
