Steel targets and .22lr - increased chance of ricochet?

I've used thick steel plate and old brake rotors as targets and haven't had any ricochet using .22LR. We did get some ricochet when firing a SKS rifle. I guess the larger round had more left to bounce than the .22LR. Most of the time the .22LR shattered when it hit the hard targets.
