How much do you need? I have some AR500 left over from the range you can have.

Thanks Lance!  PM sent.

Ideally, I'm looking for a big square or rectangle in 3/8" AR500&#;&#;the bigger the better as long as (1) I can justify the cost, and (2) it's a reasonable two-man carry.  I plan to have holes cut in the corners, or weld loops to the corners so we can hang it on a frame and use it as a mini backstop.  That will also permit us to use rope loops to make it easier to carry.

I was originally thinking of something more like a heavy duty version the bullet-trap/swinging targets in the CAD diagram at the bottom of this thread from another board:

The greatest differentiator between AR450, AR400, and AR500 is the hardness that each achieves. Typically, AR400 is between 360-440 Brinell, while AR450 is around 429-495 Brinell, and AR500 between 460-544 Brinell. Another key differentiator is applications. While all three types of abrasion resistance steel offer great hardness, they vary in terms of formability and brittleness.

In applications where the steel must be hard with good formability, AR400 and AR450 are typically used. When wear is a critical issue that a certain application faces, AR500 may be more appropriate due to its increased hardness and wear resistance over the other two carbon alloys.

Cost is another factor that can impact the choice of abrasion-resistant steel. AR450 and AR500 are both more costly than AR400, as they achieve higher degrees of hardness. In some instances, you may choose to use a less costly option that may need to be replaced more frequently rather than the more expensive option.
