Speed kills hardox rather than weight from experience..Mate went fast on a 243 rd and it dented it...

Temu “Hardox” plate - as per earlier post it survived the .222 and Hornady Vmax at just on 3,000 fps, plenty of splash but no damage. Today was big boys stuff - .308 Sierra 125gns Prohunters trundling along at 2,950 fps. For interest - I hung the plate on chains from a bodged stand so that it could absorb some of the c.2.5k ft lbs of (muzzle) energy.
The plate took 3 hits in succession at 140 yards with no obvious damage except a mildly endearing little dimple on one only: no obvious signs of the hits on the reverse. The lower double strike was from the triple deuce. Before some Einstein says it the plate was hung in longish grass and when I went the said 140 yards away some of it (lhs) was obscured by some stalks rather than trundle all the way back I shot what I could see.
Soooo, for only £23 delivered and based on 3 hits from the .308 I would be happy to recommend the plate for most centrefire target practice - others may try this at shorter ranges and get different results but why bother says I?
PS
I think I need a bigger and stronger stand…….

Good idea....think I'll use my .22 lr for that
Is that fox running for Pope?
The top picture just shows when people quote "Sika" are tough then I have yet to see any deer with a 10mm mild steel rib cage.
I have a 25mm piece to AR450 I added to a frame.
You can measure the grouping as the splash's are hard to check

Very good....some lump of steel there..won't swing too much either
Did I not read recently a Hardox small plate showed damage from a 223 by being shot at around the 100yd mark?
BC.
BC.
@PEA
All these hardox targets quoted are not very thick due to cost/post so they can only absorb so much energy and it has to go somewhere.
Shoot a 20mm lump of HX and it will just have little craters.
You dont have to justify a pink dressing gown...creedmoor owners are allowed on the forum so enough saidI'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
