Can I shoot these targets with 40 grain .22lr lead nose?

I only used this with a .22 cal pellet rifle that produces about 1/3rd of the energy of a .22lr target round and I have no issues. A .22lr would actually make the target plates flip up where as the low power of my pellet rilfle does not. The steel is more then thick enough to handle the impact from a 40 grain lead .22 bullet. As with any steel target, make sure you use it where a glancing bullet won't interact with anything. Steel targets always cause lead bullets to splatter a bit. This is NOT designed for the more powerful .22 cal center fire rounds. It is strictly for .22 Lr rim fire and lighter rounds. It is not designed for rim fire magnum rounds.

Slingshot compatible?

No, not even close. I saw .22 and bought it for my Gammo air rifle and it doesn't barely move it. The .22 is for a powder cartridge where it probably works as intended. If all you want is a sturdy target to hit then go for it, but it won't swing over like it's supposed to.

Great for the money!

So far it's been great holding up to my Umerex gauntlet SL 30 caliber shooting 51 grain pellets. Lots of fun, kids love it! Hard to beat for the price! Side note it had some play between the target and the mout so I add a small washer that helped.... Already have more in the cart! Know how many FPE your shooting and you don't have to worry about destroying your targets! This is rated for 22lr.(90-140FPE) My 30 caliber PCP air rifle is set for around 112FPE at the moment this it should be great for a 22lr rated target! (I don't buy air rifle rated targets they are not strong enough)

A lot of fun. Tough enough for .22LR..

It’s smaller than it looks here. You’ll need to be a good shot at 25 meters and a great shot at 50 meters. It holds up well to .22 long rifle, but make sure it is screwed together tightly and firmly pressed into the ground. All in all it’s tough enough and a lot of fun. It will definitely challenge and improve your marksmanship.

Good, but will bend.

This target is nice, and the only reason it don't get 5 stars is if you shoot it enough it will start to bend. I have straightened mine out twice, and so far it hasn't broke, but it in annoying for it to bend like that. I just shoot LR ammo, no magnum. Shouldn't make it bend, IMHO.

Great little pop up target

This is a great little target for plinking at with 22 lr! Most bad reviews on here are from people using high caliber ammo which this is not ment for.

Great for .22lr, fun target to shoot

Great popup steel target. Ended up buying two. Currently using for .22lr, but seems like it could take more. Really fun to watch it slam back then pop back up when you hit it. Makes a great ting sound. Super easy to setup, no assembly needed. Just put it where you want it and pound the steaks it comes with in. Realistic size for ground squirrels in the area. Can't beat the price. Would definitely buy again.

Only 20 rounds and its bending in half

I wish it was slighly better quality , after only 20 rounds with a .22 its already bending in half. I can get better value from a cheaper paper target the goal would be for this to last a few hundred rounds at the very least.
