Edward, if you are shooting the proper round at the proper distance at the proper piece of steel it shouldn't dent. Dents are dangerous as they are what will send shrapnel and in rare cases the entire round right back at you. I also have a mig and grinder, but I will be discarding any dented targets I shoot or finding a new use for them.
Thorn, I'm not making anything. The steel comes in sheets and I don't plan to do anything but attach them to my stands. I'm not casting or forging a steel plate, there is nothing that you're 'making'. The steel targets you linked to are no different than the steel plates you can buy at any steel supplier except they're cut into different shapes. a 3/8" ar400 steel plate is the same as an ar400 3/8" steel target (if they're cut the same).
I'm only looking for advice from those who have shot 3/8" mild steel with standard 9mm FMJ's who can attest to the durability of the plates.
