Default Re: shooting steel plates

Depending on the size and weight of the steel, don't shoot powder puff loads, especially of it is static steel. A real slow bullet may keep enough mass to come back at you. Most 40, 9mm or supers will either flatten or explode on impact. Slow moving 45 and 44's may keep some of their mass.

8 meters should be the norm, don't be surprised about some splatter though. As mentioned before wear eye and ear protection.
