I'm stacking eight railroad ties (a good 300 pounds of creosote-soaked wood apiece) atop each other to build a wall (for a rural shooting backstop) that'll be supported by a pair of posts sandwiching both ends.

Will 4x4 posts be enough, secured to the railroad ties with lag bolts run through them? The wall's going to be 6 feet high, with 4 feet of post underground. Would it be okay with some 2x4 braces angled against the posts for extra support? Or should I just step up to 6x6 or something? Ten foot 6x6 is expensive as FUCK so I'd like to be sure before I spring for that.
