Martin...what Thickness do I need for a front and back plate if I
assemble it using A500 plate?

5.56 FMJ-3006 172gr FMJs

I see a lot of hype on the various ads so I thought Id ask you.

What would be a proper backing/under wear for those plates? Some sort
of foam? Any idea how thick?

Can I get raw plate and then use bed liner to coat the plates for
antispalling?

I have a target made of 3/4" steel plate, with a piece of 3/4 plywood
clamped in front. I only use it for .22s though.

22 LR? 5/16" mild steel plate makes decent enough lifetime targets
for 22lr...from point blank range out to however far you care to shoot
at them.

The 3/4" ply wood will simply stop bullet splatter and do nothing
else. Well..it gives you something to staple targets to...shrug

Right , that is why there is this plywood.
