I hang my steel from a shepherds crook in the backyard, minimum distance with .380 is 7 yards, .40 and bigger I move back to 10. Lots of fun shooting especially with big bores because the target bounces adding to the challenge.

What happens to a specific round depends on a whole mess of things from velocity to mass to target angle, etc. I did a fairly in depth write up on it a while back. Generally it will disintegrate, and a lot of its kinetic energy gets converted to thermal energy (heat).
