I have one of his 18x18 versions and it great for recycling lead. It is a bit noisy…but it does a great job.

Pack it full of rubber mulch and put a few layers of cardboard. The only sound you should hear is the pellet hitting the paper/cardboard. Replace the cardboard every so often from your 30 Amazon boxes and you are good to go.

Traps are nice, but noisy. Often times pellets and slugs hit them and break up or explode upon impact making them a pain to empty because of lead dust. Looks like your trap came just in time, that fence was getting murdered.
I got one of these a week ago or so. Very very nice trap! Shooting 9mm at 90-150 fpe (evanix rex) and the bullets stay completely intact. Shooting .25 cal at the same energy (and higher speed), the pellets do shatter a bit and a fair amount of dust is generated for sure. Backspatter had been very minimal which is nice.

I was shooting at 35 meters. Some ballistic products .360 super buckshot and h and n grizzlies. Grizzlies are maybe 89 grains - don’t have a tin on hand. The round ball are lighter - closer to 75 grains I think / haven’t weighed those and the package doesn’t specify. The round ball is hardened with antimony and much harder than the soft h and n lead.
Same distance for the .25, shooting nsa 43 grain

@MrP 35 meters? Grizzlies I’m a little familiar with I have some of those. Couldn’t get them to group well out of my .357 Bulldog. Haven’t heard of Super Buckshot. I assume these are the hard round balls. Do you think that they didn’t fragment due to the design of the trap or did you place some sort of material in the trap to prevent the lead from breaking apart once it hit the steel? If you have any photos of the intact slugs in that trap I’d like to see a couple.

I have this trap. Great design and very well made. I don't care about the noise, the gun is always louder than the trap anyway.

I bought a pair of soft body Armor, clamp it on a poll and shoot inside my Garage. 30cal from leshiy 2 bang bang over and over and it gets dented but that’s it. Opened one and it’s a stack of ballastix cloth. Less than half was damaged

Cardboard's nice up front, as someone else recommended, but horse stall mats (3/4" thick rubber, but still cutable with a box cutter) make a very nice 'final layer' before steel, cutting both sound and spall/pellet splash.
