[QUOTE="TerryP, post: 4286942, member: 1564"] As I get older I keep setting aside things I used to think were either fun or a good idea. Plate racks have been part of my training regiment for decades but I think I’m done. Today I ran about 300rds thru a S&W 25 45acp on the plate racks at xxx xxxxxx outdoor range and right down at the end of it ate a lead fragment about 1/2 in across and thin right into the side of my nose.. This ain’t the first time I’ve had to dig bullets or fragments out. Was shooting from 12-20 yds this occurred at 12 yds. I never shoot jacketed rounds at steel. This load was a 185 lswc. It absolutely blows my mind at the number of utube masters I see on the range shooting and they aren’t even wearing safety glasses! Good grief, I think I’ll retire to shooting paper and idpa targets. Steel is going to need to be a long way off. [ATTACH type="full"]489249[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
