If you work turn arounds you should know what a slip blind is. Very easy to find after shutdown is complete. Find 1/2" thick blinds of whatever size you want and hang with the smallsteel cable that operations uses to lock out valves and such.

Profit

I think I'd rather use some blind flanges. No way in hell you'd shoot through a 10" 600

No way in hell you'd have a good way to hang that heavy bastard either though.

I always shoot pistol rounds at the ones I have. I could see where a rifle might break on through to the other side

I was surprised. The 9mm didn't leave a mark. 357mag left a dent. It was stainless, not sure the hardness properties.

I ordered 5 20" 900# last week. You could buy a new truck for what they cost.

SS is definitely harder that standard carbon.

Dayum

I think something like a 12" 600 would be a perfect target

This is part of the reason I bought some. They won't stay up full time. I'll have to put them up and down to shoot. Load in and out truck. These looked lighter than 1/2" flanges.
