Thanks for the numbers, and will do.

What ratio would you mix this with COWW to simply aid in fill out? I was thinking about 2 oz per 10 lb. to start with my experimenting.

Now to start looking for the deals at flea markets and the like. I'm not going to melt this down right away... will try to find some busted up pieces to melt down to start with and hold on to the...

A few weeks ago, I found a "pewter" horn mug at Goodwill. Turned out to be aluminum alloy reproduction. Did some research, then hit up the antique shop up in town today. Paid almost as much as...
Does that Lyman shotshell manual cover slugs in detail? I'm interested in getting to slug reloading, particularly in brass, and need some reading to start with.

Thanks for the info. $3 down the drain ain't too bad. Although, I should've read up more and known better to begin with!

Found this mug at local Goodwill for $3.25... bottom has Things Remembered logo and a "PCI" inside of a hexagon, with a "2" next to it. Pewter? It weighs just over 14 oz. and is about 5" tall. It...

Well, I still made out at less than $1.00/lb which is the going rate around here after subtracting weight of clips. Smelted the first bucket and found 1 piece of chain and no zinc or steel weights.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Started with a 139lb bucket today... ended up with 103 lb of COWW ingots, 1-2 lbs of stickies and the rest was clips and dirt. Zero zinc, steel or iron! Oh, there was one valve stem and a few...

Nice score. The scrap yard in Fredericksburg near me claims that they don't sell retail.
I'm working on a deal in Richmond for wheel weights at $0.70/lb. He's got 1000# and claims they were...

Great buck! It's a great thing you're doing, Ranch Dog. I remember hunting with my dad as a kid - never saw or shot anything like that, but it taught me a lot and got me interested in the sport. I...

I made an edit - but looks like I didn't save it. It turns out that it was a through shot - the exit wound just wasn't noticeable until I was skinning it....
I wish our 6 mo. old deer weighed...

Hey now, she lost her spots a good 12 months ago...

Yep - but it's not a Virginia thing; I hunt on Army property and they take the stats.
1.5 y/o.... and a whopping 57 lbs. Actually pretty good size for 1.5 y/o in this area.

Hello all -
Proud to report that I took my first whitetail with my very own home-cast boolit! It was a Lee C452-300-RF powered by 100gr Triple Se7en pellets in a T/C Omega.... pure COWW. Not a...

Wiljen - Thank you for a great product! I hadn't checked this thread in about a week. I had two boxes in the mail from some dude named Wil Jennings today and had no clue what the heck they were! ...
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Yes... including shipping. COWW ingots for ~$1/lb, shipped to your door (or to your Post Office to go pick up because it's too heavy for your PO carrier), is common.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
No, you didn't do OK..... it's yer lucky day!
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
I guess you've done this a few times. I got 108 ingots, ~1lb each!

10 ga - so far I'm only hunting in KG and Caroline... slim pickings indeed. It's nice to have mechanics living on either side of me.... but even that's a slow trickle. PM replied.

Over 3800 of my .452" 200gr SWC... wish I could get my 155gr mold sooner - I could stretch this out to nearly 5000 of them!

Last night I met the husband of a friend from church, who just happens to be a mechanic. He closed up his own shop to take a local job. I inquired about wheel weights and he said, "Why yes!". He...
