Wetpack
We do it all the time at the gunshop. Easiest way we have found is to pack a 5 gallon plastic bucket with newspaper, add a few drops of soap and soak until it overflows, when it all soaks in, add more water, and so on. Eventually it will be saturated, but it takes a couple of hours at least. If you are pressed for time, soak the bucket 1/2 full of paper so you are sure the center will be soaked. Latex medical gloves will keep the ink off of your hands. Rotate the paper when it gets torn up after multiple rounds, shoot small caliber stuff first, big stuff last. Easier to find in the "crumbs" that build up. For deep penetrating ammo, rifle stuff, magnums, .460s or .500s, or big FMJs stack 2 buckets. Keep a trash bag or tarp or something to put the wet newspaper on when you pull it out, or the range floor will get all wet and the boss will come in and yell at you for making a mess. Also, it's better to shoot at the bucket while it's on it's side rather than sitting upright. Sometimes rounds will exit the bottom or side of the bucket from tumbling and you don't want it hitting the floor and splattering if you are indoors. Outside no big deal but better if it heads downrange.
Even if it's not scientific, it's fun to shoot stuff.
