Do You Have a Lifetime Supply?

[Beau Cassidy]

I hate to hear the bad news, Mike. All to often we find bad things by accident. I worked trauma ER for years. If that cerebral bleed would have sprung a large leak you wouldn't have felt a thing.... Ask about Compazine and other meds such as Imitrex for the headaches, too.

bump it

[Garyshome]

I don't! Most likely wont either. Too much other stuff to hoard too!

Mikey_I'm reading this several months after your first post. Hope you are still "giving it hell"!
Dr told me 6 years ago my heart was not good. I'm still going and trying to use up y lifetime supply of lead. Even got my wife to help by shooting more.
My best to you!

The last time he was on was 7/29, he's a good guy so hope all is well.

Well I'm sitting on roughly 100 lbs of varying types of lead. Bought 65 lbs of range lead here some 4 months back. That has me in the "I think I'll make it but if I find lead at a good price I'll probably buy some"

I don't shoot a lot, most of what I do shoot is cast for Mosin's or SKS.

However I just bought a new mold in .358 that I should be able to use as cast in 357 mag, or sized to .357 in 9mm.
We will see how fast I go through those.

I'm not a big fan of pistols, the 9mm is my shooting buddy's.
The .357 will be in a Handi Rifle.

Lord, maybe I'd best stock on some tin while I can.

I don't even use twenty pounds a onth, but I keep acquiring it hoping it will valuable in trades someday. I will definitely have enough til I die. actually, if anyone has any .223 brass or bullets to trade, let me know, I would be happy to part with some.

Am trying to guess the weight of one of those milk crates! Beyond really heavy don't have much of a clue, I know 100 lbs. fits in about 1/3 of a milk crate because I had some slabs I stored in one, and a 5 gal. bucket gets too heavy to lift before it is full of muffin ingots. Divided by 20 lbs. per month..... equals a whole lot of months. One nice thing about lead it doesn't spoil if you don't get around to using it quickly.

We could almost have a contest like guess the number of jelly beans in the jar, guess the weight of lead to the nearest oz. in....

[lightman]

Thats a nice stash, skizzums! A milk crate full of 1# Lyman style ingots will weigh about 700#. I don't know how the muffin tin ingots compare.Heavy is good!

I'm 71 years old. I don't need as much for a lifetime supply as you young'uns do. Besides that, I still spend a lot of time at the range looking for lead to recycle.

[triggerhappy243]

a lifetime supply is a relative term.

[dlbarr]

Depends on how you look at it....I don't have possession of nearly enough, but my source is range scrap and that is essentially limitless.

Just have to replenish supply every time I shoot.

[triggerhappy243]

Nothing wrong with regulating the stock on hand...

[TiteWadShooter]

I calculated generously about 50 lbs. gets shot every year thru my guns. For a 25 year supply comes to 1250 lbs. I'm almost half way there!

[KuunLB]

skizzums, now thats the kinda hoarding you don't see on hoarders: buried alive! haha thats a nice stockpile you got there. keep it up!

[mattw]

I am 49 and have about 1.75 tons of COWW, about 70% already smelted and about 1000lb of lino and mono. I think that should last me, but I do still add to it when I can find soft lead and different types.

[bobthenailer]

Ill let you know when i find out ! until then ill keep collecting

[youngmman]

I have no clue how long I am going to live but I just may have a lifetime supply of both Lead and Alloy (93/5/2), BHN 14. I had a friend who owned a business with quite a few trucks and he twisted the arm of his tire suppliers to give him WW's both stick on and Clip on. So, I have about 1,100lbs of both lead from the stick on weights and the same of alloy.

[Oleman]

My family will have lead to shoot long after I'm dead and gone.

I just broke over the 500 lb mark not to long ago...I have only been casting since August...I am always on the hunt. 1,500 lbs would set me up for a long, long time!!
