Do you have any issues with the plates 'curling' from bullet strikes?
How thick of plate? What alloy(if known)?
THX,

my 1/4 inch plate curls at 200 yards, my 1/2 inch plate at 300 yards is the ticket, just splatter marks on it.
my .243 will shoot through the 1/4 at 200 but only makes a small indention[about 1/16 inch] on the 1/2 inch plate at 300 yards
mine are just plane ole cold roll steel, nothing special except they were free
IIWY, I would switch those targets......

Hav'n you along, is like losing two good men.....
