Description
50 BMG Steel Target
These 50BMG rated targets are constructed from 3/4” AR500 steel. The target is designed to keep the chain and mounting hardware away from the shooting surface. This will extend the life of the chain and mounting bolts and results in less down time for repair. The target is designed to accept 5/8″ bolts as a mounting method.
Ratings:
50BMG ball and brass solids – 300 yards
50BMG AP and API – NOT RATED
416 and 408 lead core – 300 yards
416 and 408 brass solids – 400 yards
The rated ranges are a minimum. You may need to move the target back based on your specific load and barrel length. Keep in mind these rounds are designed to go through steel!!
DO NOT under any circumstance use closer ranges closer than recommended for your cartridge. The projectiles for the most part are either steel core or solid brass. The bullet “splash” can be very dangerous at close range. DO NOT use any armor piercing or incendiary bullets.
Objects near the target will get damage from the splash and can cause ricochets. Remove any unnecessary objects from the shooting area, including in front of, behind, and to the side of the target. In addition make sure there is a proper back stop behind the target.
All targets and stands ship unpainted. If you are unsure what thickness you need, please consult our comprehensive Cartridge Guide.
