@@MeetRobthat is obvious, but it’s not impervious to heat, and if the rounds cook off it’s essentially sending shards of hot plastic flying. Hopefully the epoxy melts before that happens

Love your range. Though, I had a catastrophic failure of a firearm, and when I asked to view the surveillance video footage to replay it back to see what happened, I was denied, three times over. The answer was "because the lawers said so / advised against it" ... and has forever left a sour taste in my mouth, along with the metal fragment in my face. Talk about a missed training and learning opportunity.

Interesting. Is there a machine that you scoop the backstop rubber into that sorts through the rubber bits to remove the lead/jackets/debris? Or do you have to do the cleaning out of the debris from the rubber manually?

@MeetRob

2 ай бұрын

Yes, there is a whole set up of equipment that processes the rubber when you go to clean it

For the semi-annual cleanup, does a metal recycler haul off the lead to make new bullets and jackets? I always wondered whether shooting berms make the perfect vein of lead and copper ore and if it's better than mining fresh from the earth. Maybe it's not worth recycling if the scale is not as big as industrial mining operations?

@andrewschaefer

Yes, the lead at least pays for the labor and supplies to do the clean-out, sometimes there's money left over as profit. Depends on the scrap price for lead and the crew doing the work. We pull thousands of pounds of lead out of our ranges every year.

I mean I get everyone's worry about the potential fire hazard but like... if the building is already on fire and it starts melting the epoxy floor, then you have bigger problems, and the bullets aren't gonna make much of a difference. I'd be more worried of any unspent bullets in the range and built up unburnt gunpowder.

No to mention that every gun range that I've been to is full of ammo that they sell to their customers. That and every range I've been too reloads their own ammo, they also have a lots of powder on premises somewhere on premises for reloading. And while I can believe that their powder might be stored in a fireproof/resistant cabinet, I'm not sure they do that with all of the ammo they sell.

Assume 6 hours a day for three days, and you're at 1260 on labor alone, not counting the ammo which looks to be easily in the 1k-2k range. I don't know the price of resin or expenses in this job but a 20- 30% profit margin would add another 2k ish. It makes sense to me haha

Oh yes as a kid I did help clean out the “splash plate” backstop at the indoor pistol range my Dads pistol team used. Most of the bullets and bullet parts fused together. The backstop was entered like a day after the range was used. Surprising not much dust. The bullets landed in a sand filled pit in front of the angled splash plate. These types of bullet traps no longer used. This like 60 yrs ago and have no lead in my body system. The outdoor range had the dirt berm backstop. Found all kinds of bullets there-even 50 cal BMG.

Lead doesn’t work that way. If this was a lead acid battery recycling area, absolutely. But lead bullets don’t become airborne fine powder here, and unless someone is somersaulting into that pile of lead and rubber, licking the bullets, or handling them with bare hands for extended periods of time, there is almost zero chance of exposure anywhere near sufficient enough to cause lead poisoning.
