The railroad tie idea will make a great backstop. Let me say that first. Something I might add is to mound dirt behind the ties, so that in the event a bullet should pass through, it wil help stop them some.It will also help support the ties from leaning one way or another over time.. It is my opinion that the bullets should not first hit something hard (e.g. railroad ties). If the bullets hit a hard surface first, there's a good chance for ricochet. Bullets need to first hit something that is soft and penetrable.
During the Civil War the North and South used a great variety of small arms ammunition, but the type most used was the minie ball.Prior to the development of the minie ball, rifles were not used in combat due to the difficulty in loading.The ammunition used by rifles was the same diameter as the barrel in order for the bullet to engage the groves of the rifled barrel. As a result the ball had to be forced into the barrel.rior to the development of the minie ball, rifles were not used in combat due to the difficulty in loading.
