I have ready access to old truck leaf springs at work. Some of our heavy trucks have springs that are 4 or more inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. I've done some internet research. Leaf springs are usually made of high carbon steel like 1095 or low alloy like 5160. Depending on heat treatment, they are about 60 to 75% as hard as AR500. I assume that there are other factors besides hardness that make AR500 the usual choice for steel targets.
Does anyone have experience or knowledge of if or how well suited these leaf springs would be for use as center fire rifle targets?
