I am going to use a steel 5gal drum i found. Cant wait to start shooting and be able to recover the lead to mold PRB's.

that not a bad idea. I found couple of old rims not far, ok they where in my back yard. don't ask I don't know why, where, or how long they have been there. I was think about making something based on them but I remember watching something on tv where someone was using a rim as a backstop and a bullet flow back and hit one of the other people that was with him IN THE HEAD.
