Nothing ricochets 1000 yds. The one I saw was MUCH closer than that. Use AR500 plate and set it out there a ways and you are fine. The higher the velocity, the easier they are to penetrate. I have a 1/2" 1018 CR steel gong with rebar hooks welded on it to hang on barb wire fences. I don't shoot closer than about 250 but so far, NOTHING has gone all the way through it. Most damage was by 40 grain BTs from a .224 AI at about 150. I had to put it close enough for the scouts to see it. Here is a photo.

The three new shots are 108 Lapua Scenars at 500 yds from a .260 Rem. They would have done some damage at 150- probably went through.
