Scrap steel is likely to be much softer than the 500 Brinnell steel used in professionally made steel targets.

Obviously you don't want your bullets to punch through because that tears up the target, but you also want to avoid cratering or significant dimpling in the steel. Craters and dimples can create a situation that will cause dangerous rebounds.
