If you use Duct Seal,the lead clumps together and can be removed in one or
two big convenient clumps from time to time. It's not very messy and can be
reused. It quiets things down a lot. I use multiple target faces on a metal
.22 trap and never kept track of the number of shots they absorbed. Since
there is no one around to annoy when I shoot now, I'm not using the clay
these days. Most of the P.C.P. stuff I shoot is louder than the pellet
hitting the metal anyway. The Daystate with moderator(whoops accurizer) is
the exception as that setup is "quieter than a mouse breaking wind" as Sir
Rodney put it.
