It is the heat treated 370gn cast 404 Jeffery bullet at 2365fps at 55 yds that leaves the shallow craters. My practice 160gn lino cast bullets at 2415fps leave only lead smear. Jacketed 303 bullets left a barely discernable crater. Have been using it for nearly 10 years and dont expect to damage it beyond use in any future shooting.
Of course the angle iron is mild steel and will take a deep crater but is still the origonal. Accurate shooting keeps it from too much damage.
