I was in Gander Mountain last week looking over their assortment of reactive and self setting targets for small and and large rifle. They have the spinning, flipping, and bouncing variety of targets divided into two classes. Some are for small rifle, presumably .22s, and the others for large rifle. That large rifle category would exclude really big dangerous African game cartridges. Some are listed as "suitable for .22 to .50 caliber. I don't believe it. The pistol calibers seem to be on separate targets. (probably marketing) They are all described as "self healing".
What is your experience with these things? Can somebody name a steel or plastic reactive target that could be used again and again with ALL of these rounds safely without chewing up the target quickly or fear of bullet deflection?
For accuracy I use paper. But for fun, convenience, and especially my young shooting friends the "set it and forget it" targets would seem to be loads of fun.
Thanks for whatever suggestions or comments you might have.
