I've never shot it with steel core...
But I've shot it with everything from .22LR all the way up to .50 BMG....
Mosin ammo if you hit it RIGHT on the side of the target will nick it a little bit, but even then, not much. And it was at around 80ish yards.
Wow, If it handled .50 BMG with no problem, I bet steel core 7.62 wouldn't even phase it!
I dunno... The Pb/Cu splatters on impact because it's soft. Even if there's a lot of it. I think steel core would hurt it pretty bad.
It's not cheap, so I'm not gonna try it. The targets will last damn near forever with regular ammo though so it's worth the cost.
Best thing about Bobcat is Kimball will cut you whatever you want.
I have a couple of new ones to paint for myself this week. They're awesome.
What would you get in a steel target?
Hmmmm.... Sounds like INGO is trying to spend some more of my money... LOL
Timing works out though, crossed one thing off my list today and added one tonight!
I still havent seen a response to getting a tree hugging hippie target that smells like weed and patchouli
