Has anybody who processes a lot of range scrap noticed copper showing up in any alloy tests they have done? I just got done melting some rain scrap and know for a fact they were plated it in there and I was curious where the plating goes. I do not have a testing gun to test my alloys nor does it really matter as long as things cast.

Copper is good. I have not noticed any in my melting tho. I fight to add it.
Don't know but there is a guy advertising on craigslist in albuquerque, that his indoor range lead is analyzed at 1.35% Sb, 1.2% Cu, balance lead. That's a lot of Cu. I'd buy it if it wasn't $2/#.

The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.― H.L. Mencken
Interesting. At my usual indoor (if I need a quick shoot closer to home), no reloads allowed. Down south there is another, that allows reloads/cast etc. It'd be interesting to get a bucket of each.... you know for testing. I guess I could dispose of the extra lead that would come of those buckets
