I have had the exact same thing happen to those things on my patterning target.  lead 6's will take off the paint and slightly dimple them.  Hevi 6's will put a pretty good mark but rarely pierce the metal.  The Heavyweights blow right through them and leave a nice clean hole.  hard and heavy equals PENETRATION BABY! :funnyturkey:

At 40 yards the Federal #7 HW at 1300 fps goes right through 1/2 Hardwood ply , right trough it like butter -  Magblends couldn't do it on the same piece
