Say what you mean

I have a little rimfire plate target. The kind you get at the sporting goods store, ya know? Nothing top shelf or anything, but it states suitable for all rimfire calibers.......

Except they mean .22 traveling at snail velocities.

.22 LR CCI Stingers dimple it. .17 HMR dimples it.

It handles Suppressed subsonic CCI .22LR just fine.....

Say what you mean dipshits. Now I have to go buy new steel for the yard because you didn't know that .17 HMR is also a rimfire. You are the same dumbfucks that insist .223 and 5.56 are the same thing.

I seriously had to look to see if "Bushmaster" was stamped on the target somewhere.

I bought cheap AR500 plates, $15 each, plus a "T post" mount on Ebay for $20, and a T post from the local hardware store.

So about $40 per target and AR500 holds up to 22 and 9mm like a champ.

I can post links if you want.

I'm glad you brought this up. I have some of those too but I also have a 22 magnum rifle. There's a local guy who makes some steel targets, I might see if he can fabricate something like a spinning squirrel that will handle 22 mag. I have noticed that some of those things in the big box stores specify 22lr only, but not all.

I've got heavier grade steel for the real guns, but I like the little spinners for the yard........ looks like I'll have to dedicate one of the real targets to yard use. And I'd have never bought the piece of shit one if it had said ".22LR only". Except it said "suitable for all rimfire calibers".

I am guessing these are cheap-o 1/4" AR400 plates meant for standard and maybe high velocity .22 rimfire.

I *might* have some sympathy for "Hyper" velocity CCI Stingers from a pistol, but absolutely none if shot from a rifle.

.17 HMR? Only dimpling? I'm surprised they didn't blow right through.

I doubt the 'little .22 spinners' are even 1/4" AR400.

I'm just gonna spray paint pine cones white, and toss them at the edge of the lawn. They're free, I have lots, they self-replenish, don't have to pick them up, dance when you hit them, and no one represents them to be anything other than pine cones.

I remember living in rural Ohio, man having a .22LR rifle was so much fun. Now I live in suburban Georgia where we have the damn mutant ninja pine cones with the spikes on them that cut your hands all to hell. These things DESERVE to be shot and I can't do a thing about it. Well, a machete does a number on them but it's not as satisfying as blasting them would be.
