I shot steel plates in competition a few years ago. We required lead bullets, nothing jacketed.
This was pistols, 38 cal, 9mm, 40 cal, 38 super and 45 cal.
9 inch round x 3/8 thick steel hinged at the base.
A low hit with all but a 45 cal 180 grain bullet, would result in a slow falling plate.
Even with lead we would get an occasional richochet of fragments. This was at 10, 15, 20 and 25 yards.
Safety glasses were a must.
The worst I ever saw was small scratch on a face with a little blood.
Plenty of little ticks of lead bouncing off my shirt.
It did remind you to have on safety glasses for all involved including spectators.
More fun than killing paper.
