If you are shooting standard copper/lead hunting/target type bullets at hard wear plate type steel plates I don't think you will have to worry about ricochets.

Me and my mates would have shot hundreds and hundreds of rounds at our hardox 450 plates and every single one has exploded on impact. From 200 yards to 700 with 55g 223 to 162g from 7RM.

Using the hard wear plate is the key I think.
