I have a 8"hexagonal shaped 1/4" thick stainless plate hanging from a tree with a piece of wire that I have shot 100's of rounds at. The 44 mag will knock big dent's in it and sometimes break the wire. I like to hear the "Ding" when it gets hit. I haven't ever had a round come back at me. The metal jacket rifle rounds like the sks's will zip thru it like a hole punch. Mainly it is my 22 target.

you sure it wasnt the hammer that came back and whacked your grape?

Did "you'll shoot your eye out" go through your head as the bullet bounced off your gourd? Maybe you should take that gun to the next buy-back in your area.

Glad it wasn't serious.
