Me & the boy loaded up a bunch of wadcuters & went to the range today. First off the guys next to us start thowing a lot of good brass our way, great. Next we take a break , and we`re talking to the range guy, and he`s telling us about this big peice of lead at the back of the range he can`t get out of the overhead (compacked in ). So the boy said," bet ya I can get it out!" Range guy said, "If you can you can have it" Long story short:guntootsmiley:
that`s 190#=8986 wadcuters

If that'a just, the piece they couldn't get out, think what they did remove.

Nice haul!
Maybe you can work out a deal to clean out the backstop on a regular basis.

One of the ranges I frequent has a designated impact area for the ranges. The bullets MUST impact in a two x two foot area. This is to prevent damage to the covered structures over the targets. I asked about lead build up and was told "That doesn't happen!" They DO,once a year or so, push the dirt back up on the berm. NO they do NOT allow mining the berms! I hope one of the big shots SEE this lump

I hope they let you do more lead mining.
Looks like you have enough there for a lot of boolits already. [smilie=w:
