It doesn't take a big gun to break his crap  Disappointed in the 3/8" AR 500 for those close targets. I'm gonna recut some new bolt holes but I will be replacing them with 1/2" AR 500. Everything inside 500 yards. Just an idea here and not sure if it would work so don't flame too much. Seeing as how most broken targets were from bolts being hit would it help to run a bead or two of hard surfacing rod over the bolt head. It helps a lot on plow bolts to keep from loosing sweeps so it might help in this case.

I've had that cross my mind, dee. Just wonder if they'll hold up to the bullets. Worth a try, but those rods are spensive!
I have welded to AR 400. The little 1 MOA plates have a grade five 5/16" bolt welded to the back of them. I preheated the AR and TIG welded the bolts on. PITA, but so far it has worked.

They aren't cheap but they work.
How hot did you have to preheat? Something like welding cast maybe.

I don't think a suspecting bullet is going to care if there's hard surface or not. It should blow right through that too. Worth a shot tho

use grade-8 (SAE) or better bolts and they will take quite a few strikes, they cost allot more but in the long-run they are cheaper and less of a headache. regular bolts will shatter on first impact.
