Caliber Rating & Recommended Distances
Caliber Rating & Recommended Distances
Our 3/8" AR500 steel targets are rifle-rated and designed for exceptional durability across a wide range of calibers. To minimize surface pitting and extend target life:
- .223/5.56x45mm: 100+ yards
- 6.5 Creedmoor & .308/7.62x51mm: 150+ yards
- Magnum rifle cartridges: 300+ yards
- .50 BMG: 500+ yards
All standard pistol calibers are safe at any distance. For magnum pistol rounds (e.g., .44 Mag, .357 Mag), use 25+ yards.
These distances are conservative guidelines for optimal condition. Real-world testing shows outstanding performance at closer distances: 5.56 FMJ at under 20 yards leaves only minor marks, while high-velocity magnums like a custom 300 RUM (245gr Berger at 3100 FPS) at 300 yards produce no pitting. We've rigorously tested dozens of cartridges with excellent results, which is why we exclusively offer 3/8" thickness – delivering proven protection without the added cost and weight of thicker steel.
