I would like to know How big a box, You know 12x30 or so, I would need to be able to shoot threw. Say A 300 Win going 3030fps with 180 bullet. And me standing back 50 yds from the box | ||

It will depend on the bullet you use. Some do better than others. Do you want the bullet to exit or do you want to stop and recover it? | |||

IIRC in gunsmithing school they said 6' of cotton waste would stop them . A heavy slower bullet like a 458 Win is more difficult to stop than a high velocity lighter bullet such as the 300 Win. | |||

Six feet of wet newspring? 6' (that is feet) How about 6 inches. I don't think any bullet will penetrate 6 ft. of wet newsprint, however I have not shot a 50 BMG into wet paper.
