Today's trip to the scrap yard
I cashed in some range pickup brass at an undisclosed West Texas scrap yard today. As usual I asked if I could look at their lead. The 55 gallon drum was full of wheel weights. Looking at the surface I didn't see a good ratio of lead. Scraped the surface for better look, decided today wasn't the day for a good yield. Gave the surface another scrape and saw.....canvas. DUG into the surface and found three factory sealed bags of hard lead shot. Dropped them into a bucket, weighed out and paid the man 75¢ / lb. I don't reload shotgun so I will be adding the shot to harden my soft lead.
