i'm trying to link most tire shops around me, inside the 150KM radius. i'm explaining to them that the lead i'm collecting isn't then spread out in the wild , that my business is green because the lead is then recycled again and again because it can be collected after use in the berms backstops of the shooting ranges people shoot at......it works for some extent,some don't sell to the scrap yards anymore ,waiting for me to pick the used WW up.
on my side of things i'm gonna have to take some hardness measurements and might have to add super hard to my commercial boolits because even COWW is somehow ''mystery'' as you never know how hard it'll be once turned into boolits.
the best prices i've found for 92-6-2 is around 3 CDN a pound. it kind of reduce the profit margin quite some,but product consistency is a little better , it allows loading at the top of the loading charts without risking leading and soso accuracy.
i'd rather be able to produce my commercial boolits with COWW only, but the demand VS COWW supply might drives me toward the foundry . IIRC,trevor walked into the whole process and ended at the foundry too.
