Cool video on high speed camera on pistol ricochets on steel plate

Bullet will significantly fragment at angles less than 45 degrees.  At 45 degrees most of the bullet stays together.  At 60 degrees, the bullet has significant penetration post ricochet.  At 75 degrees, the bullet is mostly intact and retains most of it's energy.

Also note the departure angle is very shallow and hugs the wall.  Which is why you keep your distance from cover so you don't get a ricochet to the face.
