What rifle calibers can I safely shoot this target with?

The target is rated for centerfire rifle ammunition up to 3000 foot-pounds of energy. This covers most common hunting cartridges like .308 Winchester, .30-06, .223 Remington, 6.5 Creedmoor, and similar loads. Always verify your ammunition's muzzle energy against the 3000 ft-lbs limit to ensure safe operation.

Will this target rust or degrade over time?

AR500 steel is highly resistant to degradation from bullet impact and is built to withstand repeated shooting. The white powder coat finish helps protect against the elements, though some surface oxidation can occur if left exposed. Store it indoors when not in use for maximum longevity, or expect natural patina over extended outdoor storage.
