I have a heavy bullet trap I built years ago to shoot my .44 magnum in and I've been using it in my shop this winter. Now that the weather is breaking it's time to shoot some rimfire outdoors so the trap needs to go outside. I've been rubbing around on ideas for a light weight pellet trap for the shop so I started looking at what other people were using and saw several I liked. So week before last I sat down and drew out what I wanted and took it to a buddy of mine who owns a sheet metal shop to have him shear and break the pieces. I picked it all up Friday and have been working on it after work this week, other than paint it's finished.
I shot it a few times with a .22 rim fire and a couple of them creased the side a little so it's not heavy enough for anything but pellets which is fine as that's what it's built for.
