No I meant there's actually one designed for this specific use - ramming earth into tires for earthship homes. Can't find a link.

Are you talking about the Hesco's You could make anything you wanted out of those things
That terra filler looks very useful if strenuous to use.
I have heard (I have never tested, just been told) that earth-filled tires and railroad ties are completely unsuitable for shooting backstops. The reason, supposedly, is that .22s and low-velocity standard paperpunching loads, like .38 wadcutters and .45 semiwadcutters used at Conventional Pistol velocities, can fail to penetrate and bounce back. A quick google search turns up volumes of anecdotes where shooting at tires resulted in projectiles zipping right back at the shooter.Hmm I think used tires packed like that could also make a good backstop for a home range.
This looks great.
You're thinking of Wacker packers Ben.Is it one of those pneumatic units that jump up with each impact?
Those are vibratory, right? No, I'm thinking of something different, as shown in the video in post 43.You're thinking of Wacker packers Ben.
Here's the modern equivalent of the pic in #43: Paul's First Time Wacking! - YouTubeThose are vibratory, right? No, I'm thinking of something different, as shown in the video in post 43.
