Default Bullet trap for homebuilt basement firing range?

I'd like to make a simple bullet trap in my basement suitable for up
to .22 magnum.

I'd like to know if anyone thinks a 24" x 24"x 1/4" piece of steel
plate set at a 45 degree angle wouldn't be adequate?

I'd build it into a open frame of 4x4s with a 36"x36" box built around
the bottom containing oh... say 12 inches of sand with a 4" thick
pine base underneath.

I already have ventilation since the basement doubles as my shop.

TIA folks

Mike
