    It really has nothing to do with that and more to do with distance.

    Another +1 to jacketing not mattering.

    to some degree how it's hung also makes a difference. I always try to hang steel so it's angled slightly forward, so bullets and frag are directed down, not up, or straight back. And I make my bases out of wood which soaks up frags vs angle iron that likes to spit it back... After a few hundred rounds in practice, it's amazing the amount of junk piled up under my steel.

    This is another reason fwd falling poppers are nice, because they usually angle forward slightly, as opposed to rear-falling poppers that angle back...
