    Using concrete as backstop for casted bullets?

    Basically have a new place to shoot but the backstop is exposed concrete drain pipes.

    If shooting casted 9mm bullets or handgun bullets is there a chance of a ricochet?

    I can regularly find lead in the classified sections for around $1 per pound already smelted and in ingot form. I wouldn't pay 50c a pound for scrap that I have to deal with(until I get desperate).

    Would anyone be willing to part with say 50 bullets casted from this mold? I'd pay/trade for them.

    Just want to try my hand before I invest in the mold.

    Seems like good work being done here.

    Maybe ask him(or if he's still in here) if he ever plans on doing some work with the pro 1000? It's a similar system and his mods may crossover.

    Range scrap in 9mm?

    I purchased 60lbs of range scrap not knowing it would run a bit softer than WW.

    My question is if I water quench and age the lead should it be okay for running a 124gr bullet at about 1050fps?
