Range day...
Got the new steel targets (armor plate, 12, 8 and 4 inch plates) to the range but I only worked on it with the .17 HMR Contender at 100 yards. All bullets simply vaporized against the plate. I'm going to have to try this with other cartridges. Richard P______, Ed C___________ and his son Curtis were there. Pretty warm day with an intermittent breeze but actually less breezy than at home. The Contender .17 shoots very well, I'm pretty impressed.

Every bullet I've ever shot at an armor target has pretty much vaporized. Look down at the ground below the target and you'll find a line where the grass is torn up. Bullet fragments hitting the ground. Little shards of jacket material, etc, but the bullet is pretty much gone. All that energy has to go somewhere, so it destroys the bullet.
