I shoot steel all the time, but I don't use frangible ammo...doesn't play nice with the compensators I use on my rifles and it's a lot cheaper to buy AR500 targets and shoot ball ammo than it is to keep buying frangible ammo and shoot at cheaper steel.

The steel I use as a target is 1/2 inch thick AR500 armor plate. I shoot it from 50 yards or more with .223 and 10 yards or more with 9mm/.40 cal. Hang the plate with a little bit of downward angle and always wear eyepro.

You can generally use 1/4 inch mild steel as a target for handguns, but a .223 will go right through mild steel like it was butter.
