With everything going up I took a side trip to the local used metals emporium today. Checked out the big 4'x4' box where they keep the lead. Got 300lbs at 7 cents a pound. Nope thats not a typo. Looked to be from either a water tank or roof. Strips about 1' wide and folded up and about 1/8" thick. My back remembers each and everyone that made it back into my isuzu rodeo. Gonna go back and get some more in the am. Nice clean stuff except a little black stuff on one side. Probably some light coating of tar. But well worth the effort. Frank

I kinda figgured what with all the commotion going on that maybe it was a good idea to see what I could get. Still looking for my parker hale 2 band musket. The quest continues. Back is much better today. But yesterday OUCH. Frank
