Our target stands are 15mm fibre board on 6mm mdf and shoot through at 12 ft lbs.
    At 6 yards even 6 ft lb rifles hitting sprung plates splash lead back and I've felt hot lead on my face several times.
    12 ft lb on a bell target would be asking for trouble.
    ISSF dont have a limit at present.

    That was what I was wondering about.
