Shooting high power rounds at steel at close range.... bad idea.
My buddy yesterday. 762 x 39, steel was about 15 yards. Ricochet only penetrated about 1/2 inch but was right on the joint of his hip. Could have been much worse, but he's really hurting today.

Uhhhh… a person would actually do that???

Glad to see that’s all that happened to him. Could have been so much worse!

firearms are dangerous. my mom always told me "if you are going to be dumb, you gotta be tough." very fortunate that mishap didn't go any worse than that.

I have a 9mm in my leg from a ricochet from a earth backstop, didn't feel it, I thought something cut me, didn't know it was there until 7 or 8 years later I got an X-ray. Surprised it doesn't happen more often.
