Tonight I am melting down some range lead
I had finished 2 buckets
Started the 3
The 20 quart SS pot had about 1/2" of lead in it
So I dumped in about 80 lb of lead / jackets / paper ect that I pulled out of the bullet trap
I put the lid on , made from 1/4" plate
More to keep stuff out , but it also keeps poping lead in
Sitting down to the computer , waiting for it to melt
I got online to see what you guys are doing
I here a BANG :holysheep :holysheep
I look out the lid is 1/2 off the pot
There is a 44 mag case sitting on the concrete next to the pot
I can only think , some fool thru away a loaded round
By tossing it into the bullet trap :groner: :groner:
Boy am I glad I wasn't looking into the pot when it went off
I wear a full face sheild , long sleaved shirt , leather apron and gloves when I smelt , but it still would have hurt
Be carful
