Used Lead Pellet's

[Bullo oka]

Thank you all for participating and sharing all the new ideas for recycling the lead pellets.
Now let me tell you what I use these pellets.
To begin with 2 years back I started collecting these for 2 reasons 1st Keep the house clean, 2nd use the resale value for purchase of new pellets (even 1 against 6 was worth a try).
However my prospect changed due to my innovative target holder. I was using a cheap square metal junction box used for electric wiring along with Percihole target paper. However after approx 1000 shots there would be big hole in the metal sheet hence would require replament.
What I did was I filled the 1/3 of the metal box with the lead pellets and heated it on gas oven which melted the lead provided a uniform base & backstop.
I have used this for more than 2k shots and it is still holding.

Hope you all will enjoy the making of the target holder.

[emoji2] Thats a great idea, I tried other kinds of tin box or aluminum, but they don't last. Iron is too heavy.
Lead may work good, I think it also minimize the ricochet or bounce when hit.

That's True, I am adding two pics for reference.
1. Without lead
2. With lead

You will notice how the pellets attach themselves with the lead stop due to penetrative force.

Sure, but may take some time to collect atleast 3-4 tins of lead.
