I found a package deal on armour 500 steel round gong's. It includes 6" 8" 10" and 12" with 3 mounting holes . All 1/2" thick for $152 to my door. Is this a bargain? And will they hold up to these elephant Loads we are throwing? And will they ring with a .556? Not for sure yet but thinking about them
Thanks all

I've always wanted some gongs to play with. Ordered some a few months ago and am really enjoying them. Been using them with my .44 mag and it doesn't even dent them. My 17hmr barely swings them at 100 yards but makes a cool little ping sound. I got them here shootingtargets7.com/store/ |

 They only make that pinging sound for me when I hit them. Sometimes it is quite quiet. They are fun to shoot at.

My friend i shoot with has some 3/8 ar500 plates that i have shot with my muzzle loader at 100 yards with only slight slight denting of the plate. This was with 200 sst and 60g of powder. I would think that 1/2 plate and more distance would take the beating for years and years.

I have a set of 1/2" and nothing has dented them yet, 45-50 ML, 12 ga slug, 308, 30-06, 270 CF heavy stuff, but bombproof

Russ...
The 1/2 inch plate will work great for you and hold up to anything you shoot them with under 3200 fps impact speed.. At 3200 fps you can punch holes in them...
My 338 Lapua with a muzzle velocity of 2900 and a 300 grain Berger won't even dent them at 100 yards,,, but my 300 WSM at 3900 fps and a 125 grain ballistic tip will punch a hole clean through it.... Hard to believe I know but it's true.....
Buy them and you'll be happy...
Jeff Hankins..
