    Lead?

    Yeah, I’ve been watching this thread with interest and would be interested in a box depending on when the expense comes due. Maybe we need to treat this like a group buy and create a list of interested.

    I propose we start a list and if your interested quote the newest copy of the list and add your name to it. PNW_Steve, hopefully I’m not overstepping offering this idea. PM me and I’ll delete if you don’t like this idea.



    Interested members (copy and add your name if you in for a box, multiple boxes should have name listed multiple times):

    Lead has been a little scarce and failing to find what I needed from vendors here I expanded my search. I happened to find scrap from a bullet manufacturer. It is a Pb, Sb, Tn alloy and casts nicely.

    I would like to ask members here if they would have interest in this lead. I can get it for a bit under $1.80 a pound but will have to buy 2000 pounds. I would be happy with 500 pounds so I would need to find a home for part of it.

    If anyone is interested, I can recast this into FRB size friendly and get 68-72 pounds in a box. Cost will be approximately $140 a box including shipping.

    Can we find a home for 20 or so boxes?

    Let me know?

    Thanks.

    S.
    FYI my calculation shows: 70#=70#*7000gr/# = 490K grains / 405gr = 1,210 boolits; $140/1,210 = $.115 ea. or for small er pills just ratio (your weight/405) x $.115, etc. Sounds like a good deal, eh.

    You want to grab the most recent posting with the list and select “quote” instead of reply. This will bring that posting into your response, than just add your name and post the updated list.

    OK, I'm working on it...

    well, I can't seem to get it to work. But I'm in for a box when the buy goes live.

    Hate to do this but I’m out on this one. Found a closer source so I’m out. Mvintx I did add you to the list in my spot though.

    If you want to copy the list to add your name you do have to copy the text, the quote feature only works on first level and won’t let others quote you to add your name like I originally though, my bad.

    Please note: we haven’t heard from original poster since October so not sure this is still potentially happening.

    Thanks Stubach. Yeah, this buy might not be going anywhere but I'll hang in there. I'm surprised there has not been more interest.

    Looks like this thread is dead. OP has not been in here since 10/5. Has not been on forum since 12/17.

    Amazing how people can start buy lists, get buyers, and it is not even the guy trying to sell it!

    He seems to have bailed on us and this group.
