I have a nice place to shoot, but unfortunately, the ground behind where I want to place the target is flat. What would be the best backstop to put behind the target to stop everything from .22 to 300 mag. The shots would be up to 250 yards.

  Anything I've ever seen in that type of scenario involved pushing up a large dirt berm, significantly higher and wider than the planned target area. You want straight soil, no rocks to cause riccochets.

  You might try using plastic barrels filled with sand. But you would need two rows interlacing to assure no projectiles went between the barrels. Even with that you might still want to consider having a backup berm of soil like agman suggested. Good luck and BE SAFE!!![:)]

  You would eventually shoot holes through any other kind of backstop like wood, metal, etc. Dirt berms are the standard.
