I've shot 1/2" AR 500 at less that 100 yards with up to 7mm WSM without issues. However, at closer ranges you run a real risk of bounceback, and supersonic jackets bouncing back can be downright scary. Grendel at 100 will be fine as far as the steel is concerned, but try to angle the steel so that fragmentation is deflected downwards. Google "50 cal bounce back" for an extreme example!

Reflection is at the same angle as impact +\- angle of deflection of the target. That's why pistol steel is canted away (deflection) from the shooter at the bottom. Hanging at a 90 degree angle from the shooter, it will reflect straight back IF there is no deflection. Hanging steel is moving at impact, so the risk is very low, but not zero, as seen in the clip mentioned above. I've had pieces of jacket bounce back at 50 yards with 5.56 and Grendel, but just like pistol jackets at closer ranges, it's always created minimal issues. I've never had it draw blood, but I can't say that about pistol frags. Almost every steel challenge match I shoot, someone catches some small pieces of fragment on bare skin and gets nicked.

I hang all of my gongs in a similar fashion to this
AR600 | AR500 steel targets. CNC Laser Cut USA Steel, zinc plated. Premium steel shooting targets, target stands and reactive gongs. Veteran owned and operated since 2012.
I usually put the smaller gongs at slightly more of an angle than the bigger ones. It helps them calm down faster after being hit since less energy is absorbed
