How much alloy do you get back from a bullet trap?
A friend made me a trap. We have it in our hunting club cabin range.
My friend wanted to make it strong enough for rifles, just in case someone wants to test it.
This is the principle:

Compared to other "trap scrap", I feel I'm getting back much less. There is at least 50% of black dust, is that oxidized lead or what? All in all I'm getting 40% of the total scrap weight...? Why? Where does the alloy disappear?
The circulating construction seems to grind the bullets into dust...? I get flattened out bullets from other traps. More lead percentage,less dust.
Ideas,experience appreciated,thank you.
