That's what my range has. The steel plate is set at 45 degrees. It defects the bullets down into a moat, several feet deep, that's filled with water.
They did have a fire in the range a few years ago, but not in the bullet trap area. A hot spark dropped into the accumulation of unburned powder that had collected a few feet in front of the firing benches and set that off. Since the fire, the range has become much more organized about how often they sweep out the area in front of the stalls, and they now wet mop rather than dry sweep.
