Anybody have a homemade bullet trap for recovering lead? I was gonna have one built like Jerry Miculek's, on a small trailer. Would be fairly expensive and an extra hassle to deal with when going to and from the range. I can't shoot at my house since I live in town. Would like something portable I could take to the range in the back of my truck. I have sifted the berm before, but it's a nasty job. Sand and clay....so lots of clumps to deal with. Plus some people are casting zinc and putting that shit in the berms now. I shoot a wide variety, but want something to catch all handgun and 22LR bullets. I don't care about recovering jacketed rifle rounds. Not that much lead in those anyway. All my jacketed and cast handgun rounds, I'd like to recover those. I saw a post in a Facebook group where somebody mentioned a truck tire with a steel plate. I may try that. I have a couple steel AR500 plates. May try two truck tires together, with the plate sandwiched in the middle. Wouldn't be super heavy and could just throw it in the bed of my truck and go.
