## Questions & Answers

**Q: What size are the holes on the full size torso targets? 1/2" or 3/8"?**
A: 1/2inch, I use 1/2 x 4 carriage bolts and keep a couple of spares as I shot one out first time about 20 miles from nowhere.

**Q: Can the steel hadle magnum & +P ammo?**
A: Absolutely. I have shot everything at these targets and they are holding up very well. I hit the edge of one of the targets with 7.62 and it did deform it a bit but not too terrible. I shoot them at 10-25 yards with pistol ammo and 100+ with rifle ammo. 

My buddy brought over a S&W revolver in 500 magnum and it was the blew right threw one of my pistol targets (not AR500) but this one held up fine. 

Hope this helps.

**Q: Will the t post hanger fit on a 1x2 ?**
A: You can use a 2x2 or two 1x2's. The inner dimensions are 1.75" x 1.75"

**Q: The product description for material says aluminum... I assume it’s a typo but before I buy I would like to double check.**
A: It is NOT ALUMINUM!! Very high grade steel! Has held up to my HOT loads in my 9mm without hardly making a dent in it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love these targets.
*by J***E on August 3, 2025*

Great targets. Very durable. Multitude of different ways to set them up, personanlly I like setting them up with the thick T post and their mounts also from Caldwell. They are a very good size too. I would even say they are better than the 100% sized targets as those are kind of monsters.
