Very durable. Multitude of different ways to set them up, personanlly I like setting them up with the thick T post and their mounts also from Caldwell. They are a very good size too. I would even say they are better than the 100% sized targets as those are kind of monsters. Review: Really solid gong for 200-yard rifle shooting. - I was skeptical when I saw this gong is made in China. But, on the range, it has proven to be of very high quality. Heat treatment seems consistent right to the very edge of the material. I've shot this plate (at 200 yards) with 5.56, 7.62x51, .308, 7.62x39, 7.92x57. Only M855, with its mild steel core, caused any deformation of the plate. Even then, only VERY minor cratering. This plate is a bit small at 200 yards but is a very manageable challenge wIth a scoped rifle. The finish is a baked epoxy type paint or maybe powder coated. It doesn't last long after the bullets start hitting though. But white spray paint fixes it right up. I haven't left it out on the range so I cant say how quickly it rusts. When I was shopping for AR500, this seemed like the most affordable optional it has definitely not disappointed me. I prefer American, when it makes sense, but I cant remember ever having been disappointed by Caldwell products. ## Features - Rifle-Rated: Built from 3/8 inch rifle-rated, hardened steel to deliver rock-solid durability for range shooting and target practice - Maximum Performance: Rated for impact velocities up to 3000 feet per second and impact energies up to 3500 foot-pounds to stand up to centerfire rounds - Easy to Spot: With a bright, high-visibility yellow finish to confirm hits at long distances - Long-Lasting Durability: Engineered for longevity, resisting pitting, cratering, and deformation, ensuring consistent performance shot after shot - Versatile for Range Setup: Caldwell's AR500 Steel Targets come in 7 target sizes with multiple hanging options, allowing for custom setups for handgun drills, long-range rifle training, and backyard competitions ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B083TK933C | | Best Sellers Rank | #18,929 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #78 in Hunting Targets & Accessories | | Brand Name | Caldwell | | Color | Yellow | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,023) | | Included Components | Caldwell AR500 Steel - 5" Caldwell C | | Item Type Name | Shooting Target | | Item Weight | 3 Pounds | | League Name | Caldwell | | Manufacturer | Caldwell | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1116700 | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | 1116700 | | Shape | Gong | | Size | 5 Inch | | Sport Type | Shooting | | Team Name | Caldwell | | UPC | 661120079446 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Caldwell - **Color:** Yellow - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Size:** 5 Inch - **Sport:** Shooting ## Images ![High Caliber AR500 Steel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51taVlbWo4L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What size are the holes on the full size torso targets? 1/2" or 3/8"?** A: 1/2inch, I use 1/2 x 4 carriage bolts and keep a couple of spares as I shot one out first time about 20 miles from nowhere. **Q: Can the steel hadle magnum & +P ammo?** A: Absolutely. I have shot everything at these targets and they are holding up very well. I hit the edge of one of the targets with 7.62 and it did deform it a bit but not too terrible. I shoot them at 10-25 yards with pistol ammo and 100+ with rifle ammo. My buddy brought over a S&W revolver in 500 magnum and it was the blew right threw one of my pistol targets (not AR500) but this one held up fine. Hope this helps. **Q: Will the t post hanger fit on a 1x2 ?** A: You can use a 2x2 or two 1x2's. The inner dimensions are 1.75" x 1.75" **Q: The product description for material says aluminum... I assume it’s a typo but before I buy I would like to double check.** A: It is NOT ALUMINUM!! Very high grade steel! Has held up to my HOT loads in my 9mm without hardly making a dent in it! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love these targets. *by J***E on August 3, 2025* Great targets. Very durable.
