21. A few spent bullets an a quick mooch, these never hit the target they went in the mound in front of the target.

If you found them in the mound in front of the targets, then those are ricochets, they are all deformed, so have will have gone through the targets, I do know of one person who was up there digging bullets out recently, he posted some pics and info on another web site.
It became very dangerous on that range, you could hear ricochets often, some times louder and closer than we liked, as I said in my other post, tracer showed the problem.
I think the Army were the last to used that range, getting rid of surplus & outdated ammo.
