I got this quote from a guy on silencertests.com who was recomending rifle targets.
Quote:
Try Spring steel. The kind used in leaf springs in pick up trucks or better yet dump trucks or school busses. I found a place that specializes in fixing the suspension on heavy trucks and they let me have a bunch of their scrap.
I have shot 30.06 at it and it does not scratch the metal. 223 leaves a very small crater maybe a few thousandths deep. Unfortunately, it can not be welded but for hillbilly wind chimes it would work great.
Hillbilly wind chimes refer to steel targets hanging from chains. I would like to give it a try, does anyone have some old leaf springs?
