Here are the pics of how I attached the chains to my plate...

I forget the diameter, but I just went with the largest size grade 8 bolts that would fit through the holes that were in the plate. So far that plate has only been shot with Grendel and 5.56, nothing bigger. At 600 yards they only make splash marks on 3/8" AR500. If I do manage to cut through a chain or bolt head then maybe I'll try what you guys were talking about.
ETA: After seeing Deezil's target stand I need to make one like that. I've been using two T-stakes with another one across the top to hold them apart under the weight (that plate is heavy!), and it is a really crappy setup. Deezil's idea would work much better IMO.
