Dragline45:

I wouildn't place your steel target less than 100 yards for the fiiring line. At a range in San Diego, CA I was parked fifty yards behing the pistol range's fifty yard line. A .45 ACP, 230 grain ball round ricocheted from the fifty yard butts and hit my car with enough force dent the door. The bullet flew between my firend and I. Bullets, when fired, do strange things.

Semper Fi.
