Remember that FMJ's destroy steel targets and ranges do not like that.

Not if you’re using good rated AR500, I’ve abused a pair of 8” 3/8” AR500 targets for years with fmj’s and they aren’t damaged in the slightest. Same with the 1/2” AR500 plates we shoot at the range.
Shoot lesser grade steel and you’ll crater and deform them quick.
We pound our 3/4" AR500 plates as close as 200 meters with all kinds of heavy cartridges and FMJ's up to 338 Lapua .
The only thing that takes a beating is the fibre core belting we use as hangers and even that lasts quite a while

My range is still using plywood over dirt. All bullets go through it so it doesn’t matter. Cheap tooWe pound our 3/4" AR500 plates as close as 200 meters with all kinds of heavy cartridges and FMJ's up to 338 Lapua .

We also use targets with plywood backing and berms, as well as Shotmarker targets.
The vast majority of our members just shoot steel however- nothing wrong with that, mind you

I’m looking for projectiles, not loaded ammo. I should’ve been a bit more specific in my original post, sorry about that.
That said I have shot PMC in a couple different calibres and I find it quite good for the price, I like the 174gr sp .308 factory loads as well as the 10mm 180gr ammo.
We switched from plywood to corrugated plastic over a decade ago. They stand up well at a quarter the price and effort.
We used to scrounge our local refuse dump for the scrap wood to build the berms but it didn't save much, if anything by the time all was said and done. We even use scrapped pallets from a "pallet plant" nearby on occasion. The club is a bit more flush presently and some people just can't handle shooting up recycled, soooooo.

We use corplast exclusively for backing boards in our indoor range, and on our shot marker frames as well. It really stands up well .

$30+ for plywood, under $20 for the corrugated plastic. Lighter, stands up better and it doesn't get stolen.
You can even patch it if you want to, by cutting a corresponding patch for the shot out part and using duct tape to attach the patch!

We go through a sheet per month, and often if the local hardware store has a broken sheet they throw it in. Saves them from scrapping it and actually getting some use out of it.
We were offered a bunch of "pressed paper'' appx 1/16" thick but it fell apart in the rain and local kids loved it as well for whatever projects they had in mind.
The corrugated plastic is nice as it doesn't bend tacks and staples are easily removed.
