Mel,
If you can put your disc in a long burning fire (long enough to get it red) , add some air with a leaf blower to get the disc red and then let it cool slowly (bury it in sand or vermiculite), it will take some of the hardness out of it. I've used a propane cooker to get it hot so I could weld the center and keep it from cracking. Disc's are hardened and tempered to make them tough and taking the hardness out of it might keep you from shooting the center out of it. However we have punched holes in 1/2 mild steel w/high-power rifles and I've pock-marked 3/4" steel at 200 yards. AR500 is the way to go but if you are like me, I use what I have.

I thought about selling my weapons back to the government, but after a thorough background check it was determined that the buyer has a long history of violence and is mentally unstable. Therefore could not pass NICS.
