BIGRED, the majority of the rolls of solder are running @ $20 or more per roll. You may want to try to sell to buy more lead.

After spending a little time on yesterday I believe this is where I am at. I guess the bore is in worse shape than I had originally thought. There is plenty of rifling but the grooves definitely...
