A 1" piece of plate will stop almost any bullet, lead core won't do more than leave a small dent. Even a 50 BMG match round wouldn't do much more.

So if you're only shooting that type then find a local scrap metal place and see how big of a piece you can buy. Then make a frame for it that you can hang it on with some chains or make some hooks to place it on the frame.

Will save you a lot of money in the end over AR500.
