Reply To: Best bullet for minimizing damage to C500 3/8 and 1/4 inch swinging billets

I\’ve only had experience with AR500.

3000+ FPS velocities will damage the steel. 62 grain green tip has the thin wire inside of it to assist in penetration through steel but I\’ve seen 45 grain Vmax and 55 soft points do damage as well because the steel was close, ~50 yards

Placing the steel face at a slight downward angle and setting the targets at a longer distances to allow the bullet to slow down before impact, will lengthen the life of the steel target.
