Mate fired at mine yesterday..7mm 120 vmax...left a tiny crater though hardly noticeable
Temu Hardax
- Thread starter geordiemacatac
- Start date
The break is at the sheer line where the slots finish...no strength in that part
Agreed, but looking at the failure, the cracking started at poor machining - this from one of the principal UK supplier of Hardox targets.The break is at the sheer line where the slots finish...no strength in that part
It will be water/plasma cut not machined in the cutter or punched fashion so just a sheer line that is bound to fail.

Wonder what damage if any a little 17rem would do?
Might mark the paint but that would be about it

Don’t go near Aldi then….I've just ordered a plate using the Temu app'.
Somehow, I've also ended up buying a fluffy pink reversible dressing gown (for the wife, I hasten to add) a magnetic car cover, and model of a jet turbine engine.
I have no idea how any of the above happened

Further update on Temu’s offers…
Flushed with the success of their Hardox plate which took everything I threw at it including .308 125gns Prohunters trundling along at just south of 3,000 fps I decided to make a frame to hold said plate and a few smaller ones I had lying about.
A quick perusal of Temu revealed this idea…
So I ordered it - note this does not include the frame rather just the two corner bits and four hooks. Upon arrival it looked pretty sound so I went to Screwfix and bought two 3m lengths of 25mm steel conduit and cut to length to suit three or four targets of varying sizes; then this a.m. off to my nearest farm to try it with the .222. Blow me down it worked perfectly - rock solid!
Yet to try it with the heavier stuff but so far for an outlay short of £40 I am impressed. Of course anyone with access to used steel conduit or possibly even box section could do it for a lot less…..

This came with my hardox AR500 targets.
Temu is bit like Iceland (the shop) you go with the best intentions of buying one item and come out with a trolley fullI've just ordered a plate using the Temu app'.

And it's just arrived! Took a fair while, but I'm looking forward to getting it set up and stretch the .270s legs a bit
