Replacing bullet on surplus M2 ball ammo

I have shot HXP M2 from a CMP M1 at 3/8 AR500 plate at 100 yards and it doesn't tear up the plate any more than the XM193 does. My plates hang on chain so that might make a difference vs a more rigid mounting.

If you catch the edge of the plate you will take a bite out of it, but in the center it just ads character to the plate.
