OVERKILL
$100 Site Donor 2021
Had a pretty good collection of drives that needed to be destroyed from work. A few laptop hard drives that had gone bad, a few full sized (3.25") desktop and old SAS drives as well as a few smaller 2.5" SAS drives. Brought out the .308 (700 5R Milspec) and the youth .22 for my middle child (he's 14) which is a nice little mag-fed Marlin bolt and we spent several hours out there. He put a box of .308 through the Remington and did quite well shooting a laptop hard drive off the gong at 100 yards.
Probably the most amusing thing was that I had a stack of about 5 laptop hard drives placed on a 4x4" piece of steel square we shoot. Round went through the first and 2nd drive but on the 3rd drive caught the spindle and blew it straight through the last three drives. You can see the hole in one of the below pics.
All-in-all, a great day at the range, something I don't do often enough.
