My favorite trap is my ammo can. I put a flak jacket insert in it and when i want it quiet i put a peice of 6 in thick heavy foam i found at work. The flak jacket insert is impossible to penetrate with a pellet rifle. Mine has probably 8-10k rounds in it. Its a little warn but not even worried about it failing. The ammo can makes a great target and you can load all your shooting stuff in it to carry or store nice and neat.
I have used plumbers putty. I bought the big buckets. About 10 in across and 6 deep. Make great targets and none of my guns have made it through.
I highly recommend recovering the lead. I make fishing weights out of my old pellets.

Thanks JMJ. I guess you're right, time will tell. If it does crumble and fall apart, then at least some other poor sap will be warned away from it by this thread.

Hey all! My basement trap is a 5 gal. bucket, with lid, filled with medium sized rubber mulch. Fill it 90 percent full, put lid on and lay on its side with lid facing you. Tape target to center of lid.
Of course the size of the lid and bucket limits you to just a few bulls, and (for me) that's OK for basement shooting. Also, I haven't had a shoot through (Rainstorm .22) in over 300 shots. It seems the mulch redistributes after every shot.
Needs a little tape now and then to keep the mulch in.
If you want to retrieve your lead just give the bucket a vigorous shake for a few and the lead settles to the bottom.
Hope this helps, It's been working for me!
Really nice forum yinz have here!!!
