Since we started the indoor league this fall and me being a caster, I've been keeping tabs on the amount of lead that gets cleaned out of our range. I just took out a pail of 80 lbs Sunday and they cleaned out at least another 350 lbs this week. We must go through hundreds of pounds a week. Unbelievable. I can't keep up.

Collect, re-ingot, re-cast, re-load, re-shoot. Repeat.;-)

I'm not amazed..... I'm jealous that you have a source like that and I don't./beagle

Is your league interested in selling any?

I used to get 3000 lbs every 2 months from an indoor range when I did commercial casting.

Local indoor range here sells the material in the traps for 20cents a pound to shooters.
There is five or 6 of us that shoot there and manage to take it all home.
Last bucket weighed 100 lbs raw, made about 71 lbs of ingots.
Copper and floor sweepings.
Better than a kick in the pants.

They sell it to me for $.08 per pound. I assuming that's what they get for it at the scrap yard. It's way too much for me to process.
