    Friend, I've been in LE for over 35 yrs. I've shot 2 qualifications and 2 practices yearly. Do the math. FBI/Blackwater qual ranges. You, my friend, are fast! Humble and modest. Good shooting. Good video. Don't mind the naysayers. When I build my range, like you, I've had enough expertise training to where i can now enjoy shooting rather then freakin dreading it. Good on you!!!

    Congrats on the very effective bullet trap build!
    FWIW, I wouldn't be so cavalier about handling the lead fragments/dust. Stay safe!

    I really want to build something like this. It beats the hell out of "mining the berm" like I do. I wanted to mention that the lead dust you get when emptying the trap and shaking the bucket is the most dangerous way to expose yourself to lead. If the pipe were open ended at the bottom and had a angled baffle where it could slowly drop the fragments and dust into a bucket of water you could reduce your exposure to that dust to almost nothing. As long as you didnt add that wet lead to already molten lead no issue there either.
    And not to really sound like a safety sally (I hate them too), dogs love to watch you weld, but it causes them to go blind just like it would us. Keep that in mind.

    Apex is awesome. Not only do they make great triggers, but their customer service is unbeatable. I had a flat advanced trigger for my P320. After the P320 recall they took back the original trigger and sent the new replacement trigger 100% free no postage either way. All that for something that was absolutely not their fault.

  • @Newtire
    @Newtire 7 років тому

    I like the idea of putting everything at angles so as to increase the thickness of metal in relation to the bullet's flight path. Same idea as armor on tanks. Someone did mention that it would be more like perfect if the angle of one of the sides continued past the other so as to make it impossible to hit the pipe in the middle. That way when you pump up your Sheridan more than 10 pumps, you don't send a pellet thru it.😉. Seriously though, best looking bullet trap I have seen! Great job. Don't breathe in that lead dust man!

  • @WapTek123
    @WapTek123 2 роки тому

    the deflection plate angle at a range may be listed as 12 degrees so for a silhouette target
    make 2 steel triangles 56 inch "tall" with a 24 inch wide "base" for the top & bottom &
    make 2 steel trapezoids 56 inch "tall" with a 45 inch base & 21inch "top" for the sides
    to make a 5 foot-ish funnel that you weld the small end into a 2 inch slit in a 6 inch pipe

    Word of caution: blood LEAD levels and it's ill effects. My advice: have them checked at least every 6mo. Mine were high from just shooting indoors 2 x week for a yr. Took a year to come back normal. Use gloves , ventilated areas, etc....

  • @rdr99tube
    @rdr99tube 8 років тому

    Great idea for saving lead for recasting. Only one improvement I could think of besides the "tip off bottom" mentioned by the welder guy, was that one plate should be longer than the other so no shots could go directly into the pipe. With a slight overlap but still a space between, the shots will always hit plate even though the pipe is pretty tough. The overlap with a space will also guarantee that no lead will ever bounce back or out of the device, though it would still be rare with your design. Good luck and keep shootin'.

  • @shananagans5
    @shananagans5 9 років тому +2

    That's a really slick design. When you are catching that powdered lead & melting your own is when your lead levels start to build up in your body. Keep an eye on that, be aware of & avoid excessive exposure so you can enjoy shooting for many years to come.
    That design is probably worth patenting. You can get a provisional patent for just a few hundred & shop it to manufacturers. If they like it then spend the $ for a regular patent. Even if you have no desire to make & sell them, get the idea protected & let an established target manufacturer take it from there & collect a royalty. Seriously, If I were you I would at least talk to a patent attorney & see what options you have. It may not make you $10 million but if you got a $5 or $10 royalty for each one it could seriously add up.
    Back in the 80s my friends dad patented those stupid little bars that you padlock across the coin bin on video games. Yea, a piece of flat with a hinge & a slot cut in it. He licensed it to the video game manufacturers & made 25 cents a piece. He would never tell me how many were made but he was making serious cash off of a very basic idea.

  • @Liberty4Ever
    @Liberty4Ever 9 років тому +13

    Nicely done! Please don't handle lead dust, and be careful not to breathe it either. Lead dust is MUCH more hazardous than handling solid lead such as cast bullets, etc,

    • @sunriseshell
      @sunriseshell 9 років тому

      Liberty4Ever
      Yeah man, use gloves when handling the dirty trap and the powder! Remember, no safe threshold for lead exposure has been discovered, meaning ALL lead exposure does damage to the body!

    • @Liberty4Ever
      @Liberty4Ever 9 років тому

      ***** I'd generally agree. Lead absorption through the skin is low enough that for most real life applications it's close enough to zero that I don't get too worried about that. However, our skin does have a texture (fingerprints, cuticles, etc.) and the lead oxide dust can get stuck in there and later transfer to food we're eating. If I needed to handle powdered lead such as shown in this video, I'd wear gloves. Not to keep lead from being absorbed through my hands, but to keep from contaminating my hands so much that the lead compounds would be ingested later. Breathing finely powdered lead compounds is much more problematic and care should be taken to avoid that. BTW - There are special cleaning compounds and wipes formulated to remove lead, but trisodium phosphate (sold in the paint department of your local home store as TSP) is very effective at removing lead dust.

    • @solamisandwich05
      @solamisandwich05 8 років тому

      Only inhaling lead is dangerous (once inside it can't be expelled by the lungs and does practically the same damage as smoking tar does to them).

  • @_gidz_777
    @_gidz_777 9 років тому +2

    Hi, thanks for the good video. I noticed your cast bullets smoked alot, i had a similar situation when i was lubrisizing it with a 50/50 bees wax allox mixture. I then tried just tumble lubing with Lee liquid allox for handgun loads and the smoke issue is resolved. If the smoke doesn't bother you then forget what i said.

    Have you considered putting a top and bottom plate to catch any low or high angled shots that might miss the side plates? And rather than put wheels on just the back so you have to tilt it since it does weigh over 200 lbs put an all wheel base on it with outdoor dolly wheels or something that would roll easily on uneven surfaces you'll find outside.

  • @jabella78

Since I’ve been subbed for a few years, you are still Brandon401401 to me. Actually, I did not even notice the name change till I started reading the comments.

      He can't patent it. He did a common standard design. Actually he kinda messed up. You are supposed to offset the plates at the convergence and have the tube off center. That way a bullet can't hit the pipe directly. In this way it can take hits from high powered rifles without damage.
