Thats a hell of a round! Speed kills. Wow.
That bullet is not for hunting large game but for punching paper… be careful

I am not a long-range target shooter, but I do want to add that to my list of "fun things to do" at our property.

I thought that the long-range precision target rounds were specifically designed to spatter when hitting on steel plates? Am I wrong, or is that a match round designed for some other purpose?

Not sure about the splatter on steel ( assuming it will) but most are designed for long range accuracy on paper. I use hornady reloading manuals for bullet selection and they will show bullet choice for most usages. I have neighbors who shoot steel targets and you can hear the ricochets zinging across the road to other properties….. illegal by the way…..
