    Eating bullets raise blood levels??

    I've tried to put on weight unsuccessfully, so I'm starting to eat cast bullets throughout the day. It's working, I'm gaining weight!! Will doing this elevate my lead levels in my blood?
    I shoot so that I can handload.

    I know in the western movies they say "eat lead" but I don't think that's what they meant hehe

    Let me know how that werks!
    We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).

    Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.

    We forgot to take out the trash in 2012, but 2016 was a charm! YESSS!

    This will give you an opportunity to test a new fluxing technique, it may work. I sincerly hope you are pulling our legs. But if you aren't I am not sure it will be to big of a loss.

    Wonder how that'd work for flux.

    Or maybe they'll come out like a lubrisizer. The lube grooves filled and ready to go.

    And when they come out, don't forget to use a micrometer, rather than a caliper to measure the diameter so you know what sizing die to get. Once you know this, and order the appropriate sizing die, and install it suppository style, you'll be able to pop them out lubed, & sized!

    This soooo reminds me of the old Looney Toone and WB cartoons of the 50's and 60's.
    Oh, and BTW, eat the zink weights when you cule them out of your stash. Why waste the lead.

    Beagle, Passing 22's would probably be a breeze, but can't help but think that a 58 Mini, or a 550 gr. 458, or a 170 gr. Cruse Miss would be a real problem. Particularly if they came down horizontaly!
