In the case of meteor crater in Az., they claim to have located a large iron meteorite fragment under one rim that could be used to make many cars. There is a museum where they described the projectile. Wiki has an article that says that the nickel-iron meteorite was 50 meters wide before most of it was vaporized.

Maybe it went deeper and molten rock covered it, so all you see now in the bottom of the crater is the cooled and solidified crust that was molten at the time.
