Looks like you hammered it good! I like the impact sound a round makes on steel.
I guess I'm like most. The major difference here would be the downrange energy of the round. Not that it really matters on steel. Any noticable trajectory drop with the shorter barrel? With lower velocity I'd think it would have some.
I've got two 8"x12" plates on stands. One is set a 167 yds and the other is 275 yds. Weird yardages I know. Had to place them with a safe backstop. They have been a blast to shoot.
Working on my 400 yd one now that I have my big loader back to the house. Got the dirt backstop done and have a 24"w x 48"h x 3/8"tk plate I'm going to anchor in the ground. I'll leave 30" of the 48" exposed and end up with a 24"w x 30"h target. Can't wait to take shots at it this weekend.

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” –Thomas Jefferson, quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria in “On Crimes and Punishment”, 1764
