Yep. The size of the target isn't the only factor to consider.

Just going with DR per inch*, it has TL3 Strong Steel at 70, TL 4 Hard steel at 81

There is no functional difference between TL4 steels and TL6 steels except for the way they are produced. Steel can be made more quickly and in greater quantity at higher TLs. Once you get to TL7 and above, there start to become available some fancy alloys and advanced hardening techniques that improve performance.

As a counter example TL2 cheap iron is 52 and good iron is 68

Most of the iron made at TL5 was as bad as TL2 cheap iron because of the way it was produced.
