Loved it!

...
 Military-style, high-velocity ammunition allows
multiple shots at the
target - frequently without having to re-set the target after each shot.
This is because they pass cleanly through the drive without losing much
speed, and the rounds do not expand. 

A .308 is pretty hard on a st412 at 50yds.

For spectacular effect, 30yds with 12ga 7/8th ounce remington slug.
That 1100fpm truck not only goes through it, the remains end up
an innch or two into a hardwood log.

...
 Very small calibers provide greater target longevity
but increase the
possibility of ricochets and knock the drive over every time. 

...
 A .22 will not penetrate a monitor's business-end
and it is unsafe to try.
...
 Use large calibers for monitors. 

Try a .22 remington magnum.

...
 Pick up after yourself when you are done shooting. 
This includes brass as

It's a good thing.
