Hi Jim, I don't use T-1. For the larger calibers you will need to use 1/2" plate comon steel, nothing special. I made a swing target with some pipe fittings. The 1/2" x 8" diameter dics are mounted on a 3/4" pipe that mountes to a 1-1/4" T, that swings around a 3/4" pipe when hit. I used 1/2" 90's welded to the 3/4" pipe for the screw on 1/2" pipe legs. That way I can disassymble for transportation, (people steal my target if left there) This handles a 44mag at 15yds and a 45-120 at 100yds without bending the plate. Has a very nice ring to the plate when hit. The target swings around several times when hit dead center but quickly stops moving. To make it interesting we added 1- 2" and 1- 4" circles. The bullet descendergrates(sp) upon hitting the target and in 4 thousand rounds without richoet. 3/8" plate was a waste of time as after 1000 rounds or so the plate dished in the center like a bowl T_Bone
