The AR does stand for abrasion resistance and so doe the 500. The number, in reality, has nothing to do with impact resistance. Most AR500 is good for 3000 fps impact velocity on down. At 1000 yards, most steel will be fine.

MGM makes good targets, In fact, I know of a set of 10 for sale for $1000, that is $100 each!

Best targets out to about 600, IMHO, are the MetalMans. Add a piece of 14 guage steel in between the hanger and the target face to get visual indication. Less $ than the MGMs too.

Once you step out past that, you will probably want a bigger target, and the best indicators are the flash strobes. MGM carries them for about $135 per, and you just affix them to the back of a piece of static steel. Hit the target, the strobe flashes.
