I've been toying with building an actual range out on our farm for years now... but being consistently concerned about liability has put me off - we have neighbors in every direction, the closest one being probably half a mile into some woods.. still scares me if rounds got off the range.
I have an old fuel barrel, probably in the 2000 gallon range that's not used anymore. It's roughly 8 feet in diameter and maybe 12 feet long, I'd say the steel is about 3/16" thick - I know it will not hold up to a 30-06 round.
So I was thinking of cutting the top off, filling it with a couple tons of concrete.. and putting "something" against the concrete to lessen the blow and reduce ricochets. Any idea what that something could be? We'd use it for .22 all the way up to 44 mag and 338 Lapua... no one has a .50.. yet...
Thoughts?
