Not sure if the prices are good or not but my local walmart and tractor supply both have steel targets.
You could go to the scrap yard or a local shop that fabricates and see if they have anything to sell you. Might get lucky and they just give you some stuff.

MK Machining has steel targets, and is another site supporter.
He used to have good deals on steel, but it looks like a lot is out of stock right now. He offers a SnipersHide discount code, but I don’t remember what it is now.
As an aside, his T-post steel hangers are absolutely awesome.

I went to the local metals dealer and had them cut mine to order. 1/2 inch AR500, a fifty might crack one but nothing else bothers them, Buy once, cry once and they have lasted for several years so far.
Scrap steel sucks for targets that will get any use. It can even get dangerous as it gets cratered. Chances that a local scrap yard will have AR409/AR500 are slim to none. As cheap as good targets are delivered to your door, why bother?

Bought from this Vet owned business several times. Fast shipper and offers discounts on items to fill a flat rate box. I bought 1 kyl target and he offered me a second for 26 bucks off to fill the same flat rate box.

Unless you are doing rimfire you need hard steel.
AR stands for abrasion resistant the number is just the "hardness" of the material. Generally this stuff is found, outside of the gun stuff, on "ground engaging" equipment. About any kind of blade, cutter, disc that digs in dirt is going to be a form of AR steel. The grapple on my tractor has AR400 stamped on the side of it with a big "selling point" of a sticker. Discs are generally also AR steel, but generally too thin for uses with guns unless at longer ranges with hand gun type calibers (ask me how I know)
A while ago there was a great deal of talk in using Rail Road steel for targets, again real bad idea, this stuff is not "hardened" steel for the most part. Switch plates while very thick are pretty soft steel, same with MOST of the rail, very soft. Ever sit at a RR crossing and watch the rail bend as the trucks (part that the wheels are on) roll over it, sure you have. The metal needs to be "soft" for that bend to happen, too hard and it will crack. On something like a rail the very top is hardened steel where the steel wheels ride along the rail, the rest of it is quite soft.
Story time:
I have a bucket of RR spikes. A guy behind me is over for this that or the other and askes can I have a few of those spikes? Sure why? I want to make a knife out of them. Ok, but it will be a shitty knife. Why I would have thought the RR uses good steel. They do, it is just not that hard. So it is crap steel. Never said that. In the use of a spike it does not need to be hard, why spend the money on it if it is no point.
He took the knifes and sure enough it would not hold an edge, looked pretty tho.
Shoot the right stuff at the right distance and your steel will last the longest, move in closer and the life will start to go down hill. My 100 yard plate is starting to pit. Oddly enough I first noticed it with 243, it shakes off 223 like nothing hit it but 243 is leaving a mark.
The local pacific steel here stocks a few sizes of precut targets in ar500, they also have the bulk sheets or 4x8 or whatever and will water jet whatever you want. It's stupid cheap compared to any precut online stuff I've seen.
If you've got any sort of metal warehouse close to you, I'd check there first. Timber to have them cut the mounting holes too.

His hangers are impressive and we have never had a target failure. We have smashed a 4” at 200yds with 300wm a ton and the hanger worked flawlessly.

Ar500, as mentioned, have it cut/drilled by them if doing anything custom. Even with a drill press, oil, it's not easy to work with.
I bought a 3/8" sheet of this 5'x10' cut into thirds, 2 cuts 15 holes, about $1700
