[D Crockett]

well I have been stockpileing for a while now . I borred a friends heavy duty scale and went to weighing this morning . and here is what I come up with . wheel weights ingots 1195.5 lbs --- soft lead ingots 569 lbs --- lead that has hi tin content 38.5 lbs --- sotter 14lbs --- linotype 52.5 lbs --- raw wheel weight 750 lbs --- that gives me a total of 2529 lbs of bullet miteral guess it is time to start to makeing bullets . what in your stash D Crockett

[Huntducks]

I don't have a clue I do have 3 barrels about 1/2 or more full, 1 has WW, 1 with lead from joints, and the other has lead pipes and misc.

I also have at least 500lbs of misc ingots, 300 lbs of dive weights (lino) and 100lbs of solder 50/50 and 63/37 and some pure tin 15-16 lbs.

Until I have all of it I'll never feel like I have enough as there is more out there.

[geargnasher]

Almost none, I turned all mine in and only load non-toxic ammo and use non-toxic sinkers and jig heads. I didn't want all that poisonous stuff around, plus I didn't want to hurt the vultures or or the fish. Figured I'd better let the government dispose of it for me.

Wow, very thoughtful of ya. I suppose I should do the same. And just to "one up ya", I'm gonna rip out the sheetrock and unsolder all the pipe joints. [smilie=1:

[azrednek]

Just send it all my way and I'll see to it that it is properly disposed. To many forms to fill out if you give it to the govt!!

[PS Paul]

I'm in the sporting goods business and one of our employees has a stockpile of no less than 10 TONS at any time to make downrigger balls, lead jigs, cannon ball sinkers and so on.

So I have access to all of that all the time with a personal stockpile of somewhere around 900 pounds at home. The best news is that I have to pay VERY little (sometimes nothing at all or trade for a bottle of vodka) to get my hands on that lead AND a stockpile of linotype. Life is pretty sweet.....

I think you might be wrong on that--it doesn't become toxic until the velocity reaches about 1000fps.

[lwknight]

Lead can be toxic at 400 fps when in bulk ingots.

I have 60 pounds of pure tin and 200 pounds of antimony plus a proportionate amount of lead to go with it.
I bet I could make 200K 150 grain boolits

[LUCKYDAWG13]

dang i need more lead i just got about 300lbs

[lwknight]

Now the poor defeated lead hunters know why they are having such a hard time.

[btroj]

I don't have enough, that I know.

How much is enough? Don't know that either.

Like firearms, I stopped telling people how much I have at this moment. Just leads to weird stares and people thinking I'm nuts.

I agree. People think I'm nuts as is. People dont need to know what I have. As for how much lead I have... I can never have enough...

[lwknight]

Everyone thinks I'm nuts anyway so I don't care anymore. I probably have more $$ in flashlights and batteries than 50 average people all put together.
I see lead, tin, antimony and other metals as a commodity investment that will always have value.

Priceless!!

I have lots of ingots hanging around in the garage in a large stack but I don't want to alarm anyone here. The toxicity could spread far and wide just by talking about the foul stuff on the internet. Be careful with that!

Enough right now that my wife thinks I'm crazy. I got another 600 lbs of sheet and 100 lbs of window came. My dentist told me he has all his xray foils from years he found before he switched to digital film.
