also have an option for 20mm (extra $30 tho and 6 kg weight)

Not a permanent set up and wanting size to 'see' where the rounds end up

Thoughts and experiences ??

Those plates of mine that you have shot, are 500x500 12mm hardox 450. Nothing has ever marked them. Bullets just disintegrate and spash on impact. When painted white, you are left with a very visable dark grey splash mark which is visible thru your scope out as far as ive ever shot them, 700 yards.

I really like the larger plates, we just spray a 2" pink bull on centre of white background. The larger plate easily lets you see where you are hitting and you can adjust accordingly, rather than potentially missing a smaller plate and maybe not knowing 'where' your bullet went.
