Boolit Trap

[tek4260]

Been thinking of making a trap for use with my handguns only. It seems that a snail trap is about the best thing there is and they seem "somewhat" simple to make. Anyone here built one or have any suggestions?

Here is one I found that may work, though I'd probably build it on a smaller scale.

It is probably a waste of time, but it would be nice to recover my lead from target shooting

Well, since the link isnt working quite right, it is located on the left side of the site, near the bottom- snail_bullet_trap

When I think about it, I think a large chunk of A500 steel angled down into a sand box sounds pretty good.

I shoot into one of these traps.I made mine out of .5 inch plate,about 12-15 inches on the front,and all 4 sides taper down to about 4.5 inch in the back.Then,i welded a 4 inch 90 degree elbow onto this,which points down into a steel pail.Ive blown the back out of the 90 a few times,so have to reweld once in a while.

HI,
There is a very large thread on bullet traps.
Rasmussen industries in Lehi, UT. made me one of these snail traps years ago, which I posted about there.:Fire::Fire:

Another design.

I tried searching for it, but the forum search engine isn't working for some reason

I just shoot into half of a plastic barrel filled with sand. I have a sieve box that sits across my wheelbarrow with 1/4" screen. About twice a year I siene it out and shovel the sand back in.
