This may be the wrong place to ask this question , but I am thinking about making some reactive metal targets i.e. falling plate setup since I am getting bored with shooting paper . This would be for 45 acp and maybe 38 spl . I have been looking at some of the commercial suppliers of reactive targets and they are cost prohibitive. I have also found some articles saying shooting lead at low velocities is not recommended because of richochet and back splatter and all the usual safety precautions like be careful you'll shoot your eye out stuff.
My questions does anyone one have personal experience shooting cast bullets at metal?
At work I called our metal supplier and asked him if he had any plate steel with a brinnel hardeness of 500 and he laughed at me and said that is armor.
