PRB’s New 100-Yard Underground Range

I need your help! I’m excited to share the details of a 100-yard underground range I’ve been building where I’ll be able to experiment in a fully controlled environment. I’ve already completed the structural construction, and I’d love some advice on how to finish it out (i.e., electronics, bullet traps, ventilation, etc.). I know I have readers with expertise in many different fields, so I’ll share what I’ve done so far and what I have planned, and you guys can help me improve it!

    That 300 win mag isn’t a 300 win mag. Just an FYI.

      I actually loaded that cartridge myself and took the photo. It absolutely is a 300 Win Mag.

        How did you get the 300 win mag to be that long? My 300 win mag bullets are short

        Well, that is a heavy-for-caliber bullet. I can’t remember exactly what bullet that was loaded with honestly, but most guys use some of the heavier bullets for long-range work, which is what I always do. Maybe that is why it looks longer than what you’re used to?

        Thanks,
        Cal
