Sorted My First 5 Gal Bucket of WW

[Djones]

Got it for $35 it was about two inches from being full. Took me probably 3-4 hours to sort it all!

COWW = Clip on Wheel Weight
SOWW = Stick on Wheel Weight
Fe = Iron wheel weights
Zn = Zinc wheel weight

Material_____pounds_____%
COWW_______92.6_____76.1
SOWW_______9.5______7.8
Fe__________16.3______13.4
Zn__________3.3_______2.7
Total________121.7_____100

I was very happy with what lead I yielded. This is a much cheaper source of lead/antimony alloy compared to what I have been using.

Thanks guys for the help on how to identify the zinc!

Congrats! That looks very similar to my breakdown of my last 5 gallons.

When you can find them like that at a decent price and get them all sorted it feels pretty good. Congratulations on a nice batch of bullets to be.

Sorry guys we are again faced with people using abbreviations that at times have no meaning to others!

Please spell it out during the first use for the benefit of us all!

For example what are COWW?

And what are SOWW?

I assume them to be clip on and stick on Wheel Weights, but am guessing here.

I think that the more people who use texting the worse it gets, like people no longer know how to speak in complete sentences.

Correct, COWW is clip on wheel weight, SOWW is stick on wheel weight.

Fe is Iron (in this case indicating steel), Zn is Zinc

Crusty,

I added definitions to the acronyms in the first post.

Thanks David!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish others would be so considerate!

I catch myself doing such things, and have recently begun to attempt to do better.

Seems like WW is commonly known to be Wheel Weights, but even that might throw a new poster.

I've tried to give the word(s) in their entirety the first time followed by the (short version) and there after go with the abbreviation.

So thanks a bunch for your efforts! It sure helps out a non-texting Ol'Coot.
