After a major session melting more than a ton of indoor range scrap, outside, wearing gloves and a respirator, I tested a blood level of 27. Three years later, with no more melting scrap (I have a...

I had an indoor range owner give me a 5 gal bucket (200lbs +/-)of his scrap to "try out" which I did. I then bought it from him for $50 per bucket, 2 buckets at a time. Melting it down yielded about...

I paid $50 each for 5 gal (120 lbs +/-) buckets of indoor range lead. After gas, propane, and selling the scrap jackets back to a recycler, it comes out to about $.55 for a 1 lb ingot. The alloy is...

I bought a couple of tons of indoor range scrap for $50 per 5 gal bucket, about 130 lbs each. I melted it down in a cut off refrigerant tank over a turkey fryer. I got about 85 lbs per bucket and it...

Atlas Metals in Denver has tin and pewter. You have to request a quote for the amount you want to buy. Last time (6 months ago) I got a quote for 20 lbs of 92% Sn, 4% Sb, and 4% Pb, it was about...

It almost makes me want to melt some more but I've got more than a lifetime supply of good alloy now. I could sell it but I've got better things to do for a while. Like casting .44's . I guess I...

I melted down more than a ton of indoor range scrap into ingots and ended up with 600 lbs of jackets. The junk yard called it "dirty brass" and paid me $.60/lb for it. They said they would have paid...

I gave up on wheel weights. I sell wheel weights and can get all the used ones I want but what a pain it is to sort them!
I've accumulated well over a ton of ingots by buying indoor range scrap...

This forum drives me crazy. I just get to the point where I figure I have a lifetime supply of smelted range scrap and then I start reading this forum and gotta go get some more. I only have about a...

I've been smelting down indoor range scrap with good results. About 3/4 ton so far. I buy 5 gal buckets for $50 each, about 110 lbs, no freight or tax, and get about 90 lbs of ingots from each. It...

I have to agree with what lakeparkv8 says. I've been smelting clean indoor range scrap 5 gallons (110 lbs) at a time and it is about as much work as I care to do. When I get about a ton of ingots...

The indoor range scrap I've been getting weighs about 110 Lbs per 5 gallon pail. So 45 gallons would be about 5,000 lbs.
You may get it for free but you won't get it home for free! Let us know how...

After a long search, I recently bought a lightly used S&W Model 632-1, 3" and am really happy with it. I was able to find a modest supply of American Eagle 100gr JSP ammo which is plenty hot! The...

My first post to this great site. I am working out the bugs on a Mod 1950 4" 44 special that I've had for about 6 months. Also shooting my sons' Ruger Bisley 44 Special. 7.5 gr of Unique over 240gr...
