Spinner rifle target, my prototype

[wilcam47]

Only police and military should have spinning targets

If it doesnt work - then its cannon fodder... Im just saying ...

I dont think the DNR folks would appreciate that though.

I'll just get my hardhat out and tell them we are getting ready to put in a gas line, bulls*** goes a long way sometimes.

I can see it now- the burm/backhillside at the range covered in orange. That one would be hard to explain to the DNR, lol.

We will just tell them that the gas line blew up.

Shoot it with anything you've got, we need to put it to the test.

That's all I was waiting to hear...

Let's see...some 44 mag FMJ loads...yep, that'll make Swiss cheese out of it.

I don't believe for one minute you were waiting for me to tell you to go for it.

If you really want to test it I have hxp will prob go straight through it though.

I'd be slightly worried about the core bouncing back though

Before you make the trip up here Sunday, make sure you check back with one of us Saturday evening, the weather might not cooperate with us on this one.

I may have a new rifle by then ;-) ;-)

If it needs it I'll hard surface it after repair. Looks like your picture was with the plate sitting against something when shot at, I'm hoping that the spinning action upon impact let's some of the energy transfer into the spin, if not I've got all winter to work on it.

the previous cratering was when it had a 2x4 frame and a chain to hang from and swing freely. hanging from a chain didn't change things, swinging won't. rifle bullet + non AR-rated steel = craters. period. surface hardening won't change that.

I hope the weather cooperates so we can try it out this weekend.
