Gong

Heavier duty than I expected. Very happy.

Great steel and is holding up to 5.56 and 308

Great targets. Very durable. Multitude of different ways to set them up, personanlly I like setting them up with the thick T post and their mounts also from Caldwell. They are a very good size too. I would even say they are better than the 100% sized targets as those are kind of monsters.

Got these on sale so great value for the money

I'll be honest, I didn't read description. This particular item is small, it fits in the handle and is barely larger. Again my fault, however the images in description don't actually show true size. Other than that it does appear solid, great powder coat. Some good weight. Wish I would have paid better attention to dimensions. 6.5 widely 10 tall. Guess if I can hit this on the regular I'm good to go.

I recently added the Caldwell High Caliber AR500 Steel Targets to my range setup, and they've exceeded all expectations. The 3/8" thick AR500 steel construction is incredibly durable, handling thousands of rounds without significant wear. The audible feedback is immediate and satisfying, making each hit unmistakable. The powder-coated finish not only enhances visibility but also resists corrosion, ensuring longevity even in varying weather conditions. Setting up was straightforward, and the targets are compatible with various hanging solutions, offering flexibility in arrangement. Whether I'm practicing with handguns or rifles, these targets withstand the impact, maintaining their integrity and providing consistent performance. Overall, the Caldwell AR500 Steel Targets are a valuable addition for anyone serious about shooting practice. Their durability, clarity of feedback, and ease of use make them a top choice for both beginners and seasoned shooters.

I was skeptical when I saw this gong is made in China. But, on the range, it has proven to be of very high quality. Heat treatment seems consistent right to the very edge of the material. I've shot this plate (at 200 yards) with 5.56, 7.62x51, .308, 7.62x39, 7.92x57. Only M855, with its mild steel core, caused any deformation of the plate. Even then, only VERY minor cratering. This plate is a bit small at 200 yards but is a very manageable challenge wIth a scoped rifle. The finish is a baked epoxy type paint or maybe powder coated. It doesn't last long after the bullets start hitting though. But white spray paint fixes it right up. I haven't left it out on the range so I cant say how quickly it rusts. When I was shopping for AR500, this seemed like the most affordable optional it has definitely not disappointed me. I prefer American, when it makes sense, but I cant remember ever having been disappointed by Caldwell products.

I have a range at my house and needed some new steel plates. These work well, ring loud enough to hear the hits, and have held up well to pistol and rifle rounds.

Handled a 7mm at 50 yards

Perfect. Been wanting this a while.

Great targets,,,, literally bulletproof 😂😂😂

It does I fact stop .44mag so it’s all good for what I needed, but it is smaller than you’d expect it’s around the size of a medium sized ceramic ballistic plate and only has one hole unlike the photo… otherwise it’s great for $41! It’s all together 5lbs of AR500 steel and the stickers peel of if you don’t need them (no goop from stickers) ((put a lil face on mine for funsies it doesn’t come with it)).

Muy bueno, es justo lo que promete. Lo compré sobrado para el calibre que yo uso pero funciona muy bien y solo ocupa una pintada con aerosol para volverse a usar
