Methods of producing a metal framing member having a plurality of screw tunnels, metal framing members prepared using such methods, and metal framing systems using such metal framing members. The metal framing sheet in one aspect has an undulating surface where projections and associated depressions are formed on opposite sides of the metal sheet in a coordinated pattern. The metal sheets may be produced through the use of rolls having a variety of patterns and/or projections and recesses that the sheet metal is pressed between. In one aspect the rolls have a honeycomb pattern that is advantageous in many ways including enhanced screw retention, surface penetration, acoustical and thermal performance, sheet rigidity and load bearing capability.
