So no matter what you are shooting at... steel plates to just a regular range...
The safety rules apply both for your firearm and what gear you wear...
I have had richocets both from steel plates (10 yards) and also just at a regular indoor range (25 yards) that had not re done their berm so over time it built up a "core" - had the shooter's 45ACP come right back and hit me in the thigh. It didn't break the skin but it I knew it hit me.
