Sometimes bad things happen for a good reason and sometimes the darkest cloud has a silver lining...

The other day we had a terrible?? accident, a carney truck carring a Shoot the Star game rolled over on the way to our counnty fair. The driver wasn't badly hurt but the truck was wrecked and the contents of the truck was strewn across the road. Unfortunately the contents included 500 pounds of LEAD bb's. According to State Law this is a HAZARDOUS substance and must all be removed. IT WAS!

HAZ MAT cleanup. I like it!

get that stuff into ingots fast...A friend of mine had several 2 liter bottles full of this stuff and it oxidized into almost nothing after a few years, We melted it down and half of it didn't melt down it was little pea pod shell looking things when it was all over

You're next in line for the Citizenship awards.

KCSO, Would you be interested in trading some of those bb's for equal amount of clip on w/w's ?

I almost got tears in my eyes when I read this. Really makes me feel good to know that there are brave, good hearted people out there that are willing to risk life and limb and contaminate themselves with this dangerous lead, all in an effort just to keep others safe. Somebody buy this man a beer.

Well its a good thing you aint from Ca they would want to see your Haz Mat permit. [ melt it fast]

Way to go green

**KCSO** · 08-19-2009, 09:27 PM

I havent tried these yet but I think they are pure soft lead and since i shoot muzzleloaders a bunch this will be a welcome addition. I will probably cast them into ingots next week.

How many times did you cut him off to get him to get him to swerve and crash?
