[QUOTE="adamsredlines, post: 3670413, member: 40561"] DOE Range Design Criteria says ranges over 100 yards long should have a berm 26ft tall that is at least 10 feet "thick" at the top. "For open ranges, the top elevation of the earth impact berm should be 26 feet above the range surface for ranges 100 yards long or longer and 16 feet above the range surface for ranges 50 yards long or less..." "The preferred slope of the impact berm face is 1 to 1 or steeper. The steeper the slope, the more likely the berm is to absorb projectiles. The top should be 10 feet wide..." I'm guessing thats pretty overbuilt for a personal use range! [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2013/05/f1/Range_Design_Criteria.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
