Using the search feature for the word STOCKPILE in the Lead and Lead Alloys section yields the following results, no need for ANOTHER stockpile thread.

Oh come on Doby, lighten up. Who wants to see old piles of lead? :-P
Let's see how big they are now.

I might be inclined to agree with you bumpo, we are all a bunch of bragarts, proud of our lead stash and reloading bench buried under three projects (2 of them we started last year).

I went out to the garage to take a picture of my stash and I caught a danged old alchemist who had broken in through the side door and was changing all my lead into gold.
I grabbed him by the beard and made him change it all back. Then I threw him out and told him never to return.
Wait a minute...:confused:
:groner:
I guess I should have told him just don't touch the linotype...

This was second go on some range lead. About 60 lbs in one batch. Whole stash is around 800 or so but only about 150lbs refined so far.
Pics are pics, right?
