I've never had a bullet come out of this one.

I won't shoot closer than 15 feet. In the shop I can get 25 yards if I need it. When I shoot distances further than 25 feet I add a larger backstop in case I screw up and miss the trap. It came in handy when I had someone else shooting and they missed the trap at 50 feet.

I have seen bullet traps that will contain .44 Magnum but they are HUGE!

The neatest indoor range I ever shot on was at the Ruger plant in Prescott, AZ. The backstop had water running over it .. a lot of water .. so there was no lead particles when the bullets hit the backstop. And they fell into water. It was a cool setup.
