I have a 200yd range just past that and am building berms for a 500yd range. Berms should be 30' tall, and thats a a LOT of dirt!.
Learn to handload, it's easy, fun, and economical. Learn to cast and lube your own pistol bullets and you are shooting for about $.05 a shot!.

You can start handloading for as little as $50. A Lee hand kit, some cast bullets, powder and primers. Start slow and learn, get a good manual first, get a press later.
