    Happiness is a stockpile of lead.......

    I got to clean out my club's indoor range with a fellow member/buddy. We split the take(first photo). The second photo is my total cache of range scrap. I'm getting there. Some day i'll sort through all of it and my wheel weights! Oh happy days......

    I drooled a little bit. You are a lucky man. I mentioned doing this to the rangemaster at the indoor spot I frequent. He basically acted like I wouldn't want "all those jackets mixed in there". I didn't push it. I have a feeling he has a nice little side project going to pocket some extra cash.

    I pay $10 per bucket for the indoor stuff. The brass more than covers that. I think your rangemaster is gettting crafty.

    Now when propane prices drop a bit you are going to have a fine time. Nice stash.

    Gotta love a five gallon bucket full of the good stuff. I'm working on my second bucket, but it comes from an outside public range-slow go.

    I'd bet your SUV had a bit of a "squat" to it.

    Actually, happiness is a stockpile of ingots. You have a stock pile of work ahead of you.

    I got 1400 pounds of outdoor range scrap last year and have about half still to smelt down. Lots of work to go.

    Enjoy the stockpile but keep adding to it.

    Sweet score! Two of my brothers are in the auto mechanic field so wheel weights are always around. They typically have 150 pounds ready for me every couple of months.

    Didn't even think about all the bullets at indoor gun ranges. I'm usually asking about all the range brass.
