Bullet (Pellet) Trap
Bullet (Pellet) Trap
Well, got my new toy a few days back. And, finally put it together a couple of days ago. It is nice, and it is also heavy. I think it will do a great job at catching pellets. I probably will not try it out until later this year. I will probably spend most of my free time at the range with my Henry or Marlins. But, it will probably get some use with time (or conditions) does not permit a range run.

Re: Bullet (Pellet) Trap
Looked at some but have not taken the bait yet. May I ask where you bought it and what the cost was?
Thanks

Re: Bullet (Pellet) Trap
We use some heavy steel rimfire rated traps and they are heavy. Is yours 22 LR rated?

I got it at Amazon.com. Including taxes, I paid $49 and some change.

All it claims is a max of .22 cal rimfire rating. But, the company's site is www.highwildoutdoors.com.

Re: Bullet (Pellet) Trap
I have something similar made by the J.C. Higgins company.
Mine is rated for .22lr and has caught more .22's and pellets than I care to count.
Mine must be at LEAST 35 years old and still works great.
I have a Crosman pellet pistol that I practice with while watching t.v.

Watch out for lead dust when using a steel trap indoors.... a soft trap with a layer of rubber mulch and duct seal ( heavy clay) works well without generating so much dust.

Re: Bullet (Pellet) Trap
I have one like it rated for .22lr I believe that the minimum distance for that is 25 yards. I have only used it for .177 pellets. Works great for them at shorter range. I shoot with it at about 30 feet in my garage. I did notice that my targets shredded when just hanging a paper target alone. Backing the target on a piece of cardboard helped to get a cleaner hole. I also noticed that I would get fragments of pellets bouncing out of the trap occasionally. Clipping an old magazine behind the target stopped that.

Re: Bullet (Pellet) Trap
I’ve got one similar to this one. Bought it back when the original designer/owner was selling them. Probably around 1997 or so.
