I'm glad I'm not a chain link fence holding armor for your test.....I've always wanted to test plates from infidel body armor....

How far away do you shoot your steel with 7.62x39?

Right now I'm at 75 yards. I want to get it out to 100. These chains were just something cheap I was using for proof of concept while testing the plates at the moment. That and 90% of the time they are only taking hits from .22 at 50 yds.

Oh. And here's the end result at 75yds with 762x39 from a SKS.

All 1/2" AR500. From left to right. 3", 4", 5", 6", 8"

The broken 6" chain in this pic is not from hitting the chain. It broke from the impact of the plate. I wanted to test it out before I spent $100+ on hardened chain.

I have a berm about twice that size at our place, but don't have the impressive amount of steel you do. The chain hangers get abused at out range.
Have you fired ammo like .300 Win Mag at it?
