Pellet Traps
« on: January 26, 2004, 03:25:37 AM »
Can anyone recommend one of the pellet traps for the magnum power pellet rifles. I see that some of them cannot handle the magnum springers.

Great idea. How thick is your mat of seal. I've used duct seal years ago when I was handloading pistol rounds. We would use it to test bullet expansion. I knew a guy that had a gun range in his basement. That man had a tolerant wife. We used to shoot everything from 22 LR to 44 Mag.
I think he used it as part of his back stop for small caliber rounds. 22 shorts. Thanks.

I don't shoot lots like some air gunners but a 12x16x18 cardboard box stuffed with heavy gunny sacks has been working well for me with an R7 and BSA Super Sport at 18 to 28 yards.  I just redo the shooting end of the box with duct tape now and then and hold the targets with tape.  The R7 is pretty mild but the BSA is is a fairly potent .22 springer - 14 ft lb I think.

"How thick is your mat of seal."

About 1&1/2 inches.  It really works GREAT!  No noise.

FOR ABOUT $50 OR SO. This will handle any pellet gun you care to try including some of the higher end PCP guns. It will handle all the others inbetween and you never have to worry about over stressing your trap. And its cheaper than some of the so called pellet traps for sale by the major makers of airguns as well as lots tougher.
