Caldwell High Caliber AR500 Steel

Holds up great

Perfect steel target for backyard shooting. I am tired of paper targets. I can finally hear that "ding" sound to confirm I am hitting my target between 50 to 100 yards without having to look at my spotting scope. I will definitely buying more in different sizes.

Heavier duty than I expected. Very happy.

It’s a Steel Target, is there much more to say? It stops a bullet and rings for an excellent price.

Hundreds of .40 s&w bullets into this thing and no issues. No dings or dents and super satisfying to shoot. I use colored duck tape to act as hit indicators, 10/10 recommend

First, these steel targets have been great fun. I've had them for a week and they've seen hundreds of 22lr rounds, a couple dozen 9mm, and now a handful of center fire rifle. As expected they performed perfectly with rimfire (close at 15 yards), and 9mm (40 yards), but I had mixed results with rifle. Rifle was a 14" AR in 5.56 NATO at 100 yards. The plates shrugged off 75gr BTHP loads fine, but strangely they had (very) minor deformation with 55gr ball (federal black), and an edge hit took a chunk out. That shouldn't have happened. The muzzle velocity of the ball ammo was previously chronod at 2800fps. That translates to an impact velocity shy of 2500fps. They advertise these targets up to a 3000fps rating with 5.56. I would not purchase this solely for rifle use. 4 stars because the price makes replacement of pitted targets more economical, and I doubted AR500 vs 5.56 from the drop.

Used for the first time today and it held up great, 9mm left no dents and 223 left bb sized dents. The ding sound is quite satisfying!

Not as pictured. The 5” gong I received only has one mounting hole, not two. I need two holes to make it hang straight for my application, so this does not work for me. I also had to go through getting a replacement already because my first package arrived empty with a gong sized hole in the package. You’re better off buying this in person so you actually get what you need.

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

Does the job . Used 5.56 FMJ steel core . But it's not like on the picture, only one hole.

Very tuff.

Il y a 2 trous sur la cible de la photo, mais la cible reçue n'en a qu'un seul. Pas grave, je vais l'adapter à mon support.

It took me a while to figure out how to hang this one hole target so it wouldn't swing left or right when hit, but it can be done. The target itself, made of AR500 steel, shrugs off most caliber bullets. Just remember that as the caliber increases from .22 LR and up, the target should be farther and farther away.
