Money well spent. I swear once you shoot steel, you never go back.

How thick does AR500 steel have to be to survive rifle rounds?

It's more a question of how far away than how thick.

I've shot at my hostage target at 50 yards with 223 and the damage to the target is about the same as at 100 yards... The only difference is safety ...

Bullet construction also plays a big part.

Me too, thats why I switched clubs. Now I drive 1 hour to my range instead of 35 minutes, but shooting steel makes it all worth it.
I ordered their full size, 3 reactive gong target/stand last summer and got it shipped to Penticton, BC, for under 100$. Came packaged wonderfully, paint, welds and attention to detail was fantastic. Assembled in 10 very easy minutes, and can be taken down or put together in a minute or two with very little effort.
One of the things I did not consider when I bought it, was that it folds down completely flat and it on takes up about 5" of vertical space in the box of my jeep. Super easy to pack away. Love that!
Have shot several thousand rounds of 223/308/6.5 Creedmoor and it still looks pristine. The only little hiccup I have had is that when you go to disassemble at the end of the day, the 3 large trailer pins that hold the gongs in, get sticky with a bit of spalling and cast off, and can be a bit tough to get out. Pins are not marred at all, and once you work them out, the slide back in very easy. So I take a little hammer with me now, to give them a couple little taps to pop them out.

This is what I was curious about: steel core bullet.
Is this you in the vid? Wondering if your bolt release was broken..

Aha.
I had one fail in a comp once, cost me a bunch of points.
