Hi Guys
I'd like to make a swinging steel target for a highpower rifle. It would need to take a hit from a .338 WM at 100 yds.( also .223, .308,30-06&45-70)
It would be a simple design of a 24" H shaped base made with 1" re-bar and a 18" stand with a 6" or 8" disk attached by two piecees of heavy chain. I'm figuring total weight of about 30 pounds. Would 3/4" hardened steel be enough? Should I go up to 1"? Only soft point bullets would be used.
Any advice would be graetly appreicated.
