The green side has had nearly that many BUT look close and you will see about 20 pock marks - one magazine of incendiary 5.56 that kind of melts into the steel.
The orange side has had over 600 rounds from 22 to 45 in pistol and rifle 22, 17HMR, lots of 5.56 and one 270 YUP look close that one left a mark about at the heart.

Holly cow!! You really tested these things out I can't believe how little damage the incendiary bullets did. Just ruffed up the surface a bit from the looks of it. Thanks for the range update.

I have mounted mine with a slight angle in an attempt to help deflect the bullets down. If a bullet would hit the pock mark near the top, combined with the downward angle of the plate, you could get a deflection straight back. Not?
