Common 55 gr soft nose .223 will punch right through a 1/4 inch steel plate.
I remember reading in THE MAN EATERS OF TSAVO how Patterson used a .303 rifle to punch holes in steel beams.

Weight/ density of bullett is much more important than material indeed.
At short range steel shot might penetrate better, but lead is better at long distance.
