I've shot newspaper filled boxes (airgun trap) and boxes

filled with other stuff but the quietest and longest lasting was a box filled with rubber mulch. You do need to create a target face that is replaceable and the trap box doesn't need to be more than 6" deep.

I started handgun shooting with a Crosman 130 .22 cal pistol and shot so much in our basement that I "chewed" a hole through the 20" deep box packed with newspapers. I cast a lot of bullets with the lead recovered.

This might get lost in the thread for posting here but I took the model 41 to the range today but not all the magazines. I don't know why I did that... Anyway, one magazine won't seat but works fine in my 422 and another would fall out after every shot. More magazines will ordered shortly. I need enough to support both the 41 and the 422.

The range was "crowded" with muzzleloader trouble shooters so I did not begin the .45 ball training regimen.
