Not all AR Steel (350-500) is the same but AR 500 is typically "through treated". Some is only "surface treated" usually the AR 350-450 materials.
The A-36 material Al spoke of is typically only surface treated and is generally fine for all 1/2 scale targets and I would consider it the minimal for general range use.
The price of the steel jumps dramatically depending on what you buy. Making targets is very expensive unless you are doing it on a large scale production and most people don't understand the difference between all the various types of metal out there or even between similar metals.

Al. There use to be a rule about targets but since they changed the thickness of the targets I haven't seen any reference to target material. It was listed in the older rule books as well as the range requirement handbook the NRA had but no longer prints. Ive asked several people at NRA HQ about it but none of the new people even know what I'm talking about.
