The second dead bird....
This new steel target I bought from Custom Metal Products (CMP) for a total cost including shipping of $91, is easily one of the best pickups I made in some time. I only needed to have one extremely fun day with it and my AR's to know just how great these steel targets are.
I won't go to deep as I think my videos above should do all the talking combined with the few pictures I'm posting, but I do feel obligated to throw a bit of love to CMP given how damn pleased I'm with my purchase, and also the fact that I had an email from the company president less than 30mins after ordering informing me that my order was about to be shipped(this was monday...received it on weds.) and wanted to know if I had any comments, suggestions, or questions for him at that time. Straight first class gent, and I research forever about this AR500 target business and his prices were the very best I found on the net.
So ask yourself, is that target in my video's worth a bit less than a $100 bill....I submit hell yes it is, do yourself and your shooting game a favor, and look into getting your own steel setup for your AR's.
Pics....
Takedown:
Only little flaw, a shot took a small chip off the edge but from my understanding any high quality AR500 plate will do the same.

good stuff!
And I am definitely going to have to give them a call, I need some steel to bang on
Did you find the 18 grouping better than the 10 or anything of the sort?
Also, both of these are Rock barrels right?
Edit:
lol I guess watching the videos all the way through answered my question. Looked like 3 misses with 10 and the 18 was a tight group center mass?
Not criticizing, these are good videos for sure. Just wondering

Those are awesome videos. I'm going to order those targets, my steel ones are beat to hell.
Thank you very much for the videos, very well done.
Looks like a lot of fun! When were kids, we'd go camping in a canyon in the Mojave Desert that gave us a mountainside a mile or two long and covered with granite rocks to shoot against. We'd pick out a rock, guesstimate the hold-over, fire and wait in anticipation for the tell-tale thwock of a solid hit with anything we shoot- including shotgun slugs

Plates that chip on the edges are not high quality.
Thanks for posting the videos, but I'm not quite sure it really proves the point. A solid rest for the rifle and quantitative measure of accuracy is needed to prove your premise that they are as accurate as each other. Yes you showed that you can hit steel almost as well with an SBR as you can with a SPR. And for most people, especially steel assualters, I guess that is good enough.
The issues I have are that 240yards isn't all that far and you aren't taking into account how much velocity those rounds are carrying even at that short distance. I think I can see a difference in the energy imparted on the target, but that is qualitative not quantitative measurement. For bad guy shooters, that might be a consideration.
Longer barrels really only add accuracy potential because the potential of the sight radius being longer. Scopes take that out of the equation.
Like I said, thanks for the videos. They beat the crap out of the videos that I haven't posted. I'm also trained as a chemist and I love to pick apart 'experiments'.
Where did you get the mount for the camera that goes from P-rail to I assume 1//4-20 camera mount? Can't quite swing for a the new Contour, that might work for some cameras I have around.
Looking forward to more videos.
You and Cameron are like gun twins. I opened the thread and just looked at the pics and though they were his.
