[QUOTE="barnesuser28, post: 659371, member: 43468"] I would like to test expansion of some bullets at reduced velocities and I am looking for a bullet trap that is easily and cheaply made and is somewhat portable. My dad is a carpenter so wood would be the preferred material to contain the media. That's where my problem is. What media should I use? There isnt access to water at the range and I don't want a mess in the pickup trunk so water is out. I would like for it to be reusable so I was thinking about using dirt and getting it damp before we leave for the range? Is that a good choice? How should I build the box so it doesn't blowup on the first shot? It will mostly be Barnes bullets used for testing so I figure they will penetrate quite aways. [/QUOTE]
