Wheel weight swap

[Cphufnagle]

I have a friend who owns a tire shop. He gave me a 5 gallon bucket of wheel weights and I told him I'd swap some ammo for it. I want to do him right,so, what would be a fair offer back for the scraps. They are a mixture of all kinds, stick on and steel weights included, but most seems to be lead.

Just MHO, but my advice is to pay him a fair price and let him purchase his own ammo. As a personal policy I do not load for others due to liability, and I never shoot other's reloads. As an alternative you could bring him over and teach him how letting him use your equipment. GW

Dont reload his ammo! LIBALITY !!!! . Cash or trade him some cast boolets or invite him over to load his ammo on your equipment under your supervision .

50 rounds of 45 acp, 100 if he brings back the brass...

LMAO... no one EVER brings the brass back :bigsmyl2:

recently, I swapped 200 rds of 45acp for a real nice pair of gently used Sorels...look like new, $140 retail.

I'd give him around $20 worth of factory ammo for what ever he shoots as a thank you.

Y'all have been great. Thanks for the thoughts to consider.

If he's a friend, you'll want to do right by him as well as keep the pump primed for more wheel weights down the road. I have a similar arrangement with a contractor who comes by lead on occasion and I give him a hundred rounds of cast loads for his 1893 Marlin 30/30 for a couple a hundred pounds of Pb. He can't get the reduced loads anywhere else for his antique rifle so we're both happy with the arrangement. We're doing a lino type for ammo swap this coming weekend.

100% agree & I used to load for commercial sale. It's just not worth the headache. He blows up a gun, his ammo or your or some gun show junk, he's going to blame you. The factory ammo is a good call.

Last year my old mechanic boss needed some 22LR, so I fixed him up.
I now get all his WW, good deeds come back.

Yeah 22lr ammo for good ww has got to be a bargain.

I used to be able to trade cast bullets for buckets of ww's, unfortunately my contact no longer works there and doubly unfortunate as it was a truck shop so lots of nice long ww's hence a much higher ratio of lead to clips.

As with others, I never sell, trade or otherwise provide my hand loads to anyone outside my immediate family.
