    Who has built a heavy duty cast bullet trap ?

    This is something that I have been thinking about for ages

    Build a decent steel plate bullet trap just for cast lead bullets
    Would set it up on my 100m range because I guess it's going to be reasonably heavy
    There are plenty of ideas on line
    I just want some real world feed back on what works ?

    .22 RF up to .72 musket
    Most powerful ( at the moment ) would be a 577 Enfield or 500 BPE

    I want to be able to collect the lead to re use over and over again
    Sure I have plenty of scrap lead but at the moment I'm spraying 5kgs a year around my stock holding paddock

    I had thought a big old excavator bucket might also be a good starting point
    But the angles might not be enough to stop the odd one coming back

    Thoughts or know of one sitting idle somewhere that need the rust blown off it
