How much alloy do you get back from a bullet trap?

[MR45]

I built a 2-2-3 ft wooden box with a 1/4 inch plate with in the back
Then fill it with cut up racing tires
I pull it apart once a year
I get 100% back in hole bullets
Little smell wend I melt them down

I would worry about that six foot pipe getting filled up and boolits packing themselves in so tight, that it will be impossible to get them out without melting them. Maybe that wouldn’t be a problem if you clean them out after each use.

I was planning on cutting the pipe to a usable length, 6 feet is what I have total. LOL

I’m going to add a piece of conveyer belt type material in front of mine and see what kind of difference it makes.

I use a 55 gallon drum (plastic) on it's side and filled with rubber mulch. Cut an access hole to fill it, and cover the hole with an old doormat. I find mostly whole boolits, and lots of shed checks. Staple your targets directly to the plastic. Stops my .303's, 30-30, and 7.62x39's from my SKS, all at cast velocities.
