8" AR500 Steel Gong $59.99

Just a little FYI. There are many steel mills located around the world, but only a select few are able to produce steel that is hard enough and of sufficient quality to be safely used for steel targets. HARDOX/SSAB, Bethlehem-Lucas, Oregon Steel Mills and NKK are major producers of such steel. Steel must be through hardened not just surface hardened. AR500 Brinell and AR550 Brinell Heavey Duty Armor Steel. Being 3/8 has no bearing on the quality of the steel. This product is being advertised as AR 500 3/8 and that is what it is.
 
Paul,

Great deal as always!

Bring more sizes and it will sell as hotcakes.

We need 10 in and 12 in diameter also.

If these are as good quality as I think they are, you will be the one and only CGN sponsor that supplies them to us at reasonable price.

You will sell as many as you can get in stock!

I like the 8 inch gongs... you get bigger and they start to get heavy fast. I can't drive out to the long distance target spots so carrying larger plates sucks when you're feeling lazy :p

Howdy, found you guys through watching referrals on my site, I'm the MOA Targets guy, who made the flow chart. I've got a bunch more info at my blog that helps explain how the whole hardened steel works, and doesn't work, for those who are interested.

I've looked into shipping to your frozen wasteland from my desiccated wasteland, and it's just not economic*. I do, however, enjoy talking shop, so if you have any questions of me, feel free to ask.

*By not economic, I'm looking at $42.25 in postage to send a max of 20 lbs of steel, which is typically about $100 worth of targets. :/

I don't have the answer to your first question, but I have tested it with a 308 at 50 and it barely made a mark

They are made in Canada

We only have 3/8"

...Sounds like we need to do some testing Chris... :)

Range day at Abby with a couple 50's?
 
I bought one of these targets about 2 months ago. It took about ~200 or so rounds of 308 and 7.62x54 and 60 rounds of 223 at 100m an ear cracked and eventually snapped off from the plate. retired it to small calibre stuff after went through about 100 rounds of 9mm, ~130 of 7.62x25, and just short of 500 22LR at 25m. Same thing the other ear slowly started to crack until it eventually gave out (it was a 22LR that finished it off haha). It was fun while it lasted, but kinda thought it to be really short lived for a target of this type... I only had the one plate so I'm not sure if the plates themselves are poorly manufactured, or maybe I just got the only lemon. I was shooting mostly FMJ and a few rounds made the smallest mark (I think it was the 223) but most of them left non at all. It still serves as a target for me, its just kinda disappointing having to set it up on the ground as opposed to swinging now.

I had one plate that the ears also started to crack. Great thanks to can am they sent me another one free of charge and I bought 2 more. Now my second one is starting to develop a tiny crack at one of the ears. But my plate have faird much better then yours , it don't show any dent or deformation. I will say that for the price I am still happy.
