-> Why not get a bullet trap rated for .22s and use it with ordinary
-> .22s in that case?  A sheet of 1" plywood backed by a sheet of
-> steel, with a 2" separation from the plywood placed behind the trap
-> would be enough to stop the occasional "missed it completely" flub
-> up. Of course, it would be more noisy than CB caps -- but if your
-> wife can stand it . . . :-)
Depending on the price difference between caps and regular 22s, I
suppose the trap plus plywood & steel backstop would eventually pay for
themselves.  Just not sure how long it would take.
Another reason I'm interested in the 22 caps:  I've got a big old
ex-hayfield behind my house.  I'd like to set up some of those "Paladin
Scenarios" you read about in Combat Handguns.  There's no safe backstops
there for regular bullets, but BB caps ought to be safe enough without
them, the nearest houses are half a mile away.
