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.

thats great, canada ammo has amazing service. unfortunately for me It's well past the 30day return period, so I doubt they would do the same.

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"

Wow. I have an 8" ar-500 gong in 3/8 and was told centrefire rifles would deform it at less than 200yds. 300yds for magnum cartridges. That is a pretty good price for a gong.

You'd probably want to talk to the supplier regarding a certificate since its likely for liability reasons that the range wants a certificate.
 
ive talked to several suppliers in my area and none of them provide certs. some of them have never even heard of it. yet they all sell AR500 targets. This is irritating. i ain't payin for shipping a piece of metal either.
 
It sounds like they want something that says the gong is indeed made of AR500, and not just marketed as such.

Sounds like something that would have to go all the way back to the manufacturer.

I gotta ask, what range is asking for a certificate? And has anyone else heard of anything like this??
 
I bought numerous AR 500 targets from various suppliers.
Never even heard of such certificate, nor have ever been offered one.

Power tripping range nazi perhaps is certifiable himself.

Sharp corners where the ears meet the main plate and hard material are not a good combination. There should be a 1/2" radius in there.

I'd use the existing holes to mount eyebolts (circletowards the back) and attach my hanging chains to the eyebolts using shackles.
The CG of this assembly would tilt the plate at an angle which would deflect the rounds downwards (instead of back). In addition, when struck, the plate would pivot or rotate upwards.
Combined with the freedom of movement provided by the eyebolt'/shackle arrangement - may be enough to reduce forces on "ears" in order to prevent stress cracking/failure.

I believe he's looking for a Mill Test Report. Anyone dealing in raw steel should be fully aware of what a mill test report is, as they are a guarantee that steel from a mill falls within certain spec of the grade steel. It's like an insurance policy for manufacturers, so that if something goes wrong, they can prove they used the correct steel.
 
Sorry, didnt mean to hijack this thread. Its the Port Coquitlam And District H&F Club. They want a cert to verify its ar500 and safe to use for the intended purpose.
 
Steel Info

Sold this for 20+ years, Made in Canada here http://www.algoma.com/products-and-markets/?C=64
AR 500 is this http://www.essarsteelalgoma.com/media/C - EssarHTPWeb11-12.pdf
Now known as AlgoTuf 500 The AR stands for abrasion resistant so no real ballistic tests performed or claimed. It can be ordered with impact tests and as stated in the info will typically obtain 20FT/LBS @ -40F (CAT 3)
Applications include heavy earth moving equipment, forestry equipment, typically in high impact applications (scoop bucket leading edges, ground breakers, felling heads)
My customers used a lot of QT100 The AR500 was used very sparingly due to cost and difficulty in processing.
We cut silhouette targets for local Police and RCMP QT100 for pistol AR500 for Rifle
You can weld lugs on the back for chain. It requires a low Hydrogen rod and pre heat. this will lower the steels properties in the area of the weld.
If ordered with mill test certs the heat number will need to hard stamped into each part for range purposes this can be on the edge. We shipped this with tests and stamps on every part as it @ that time it fell under the pressure vessel rules.
 
Cool story bro
