Went to indoor range today and got 3 five gallon buckets of "floor sweepings" for 40 dollars. I'm gonna go back on tuesday when they are closed, and get some of the good stuff behind the target area.
Brought buckets home and fan cleaned 1 bucket full. Probably got 65% good stuff.
Heating up pot now, and waiting for it to start melting.
Have a lot of jackets in the mix, but figure I can sell them to help offset the cost.
Wish me luck!!!

Just make sure to heat the jacketed stuff in the pot as the pot warms up. Don't add jacketed stuff to the liquid lead, there is the danger of trapped moisture. What is the difference between "floor sweepings" and the stuff behind the target area. The only floor sweepings at my indoor range is paper and powder resiude. Good luck....

Be careful no "dud rounds" are included in the floor sweepings. Could
be kinda exciting.
