The fast 20cal rifles on the other hand - they do a fair bit of damage

If you are using mild steel, you will get craters no matter what thickness you use.

Yeah here's the pic, was impressive to watch blew the plate clean off & up the paddock




and here's some half inch mild hit @ 500yards, the dust marks are 308 / 7mm etc & the diverts are 338 edge
