I was at a local truck tire place the other night
I bought 4 used Semi tires and had them install them on wagon rims
Non split rims :groner:
The guys run and hide when they see me pull in
As I understand it is a total PITA to put the tires on my rims
I was talking to the manager about the 8 5 gallon buckets of WW over by the wall and the 2 pallet boxs of them next to the buckets
The guy was nice about it , but said he could not sell or give them to me
As the owner was trading them in on new WW
But then we got to talking about shooting
He ask if I was going to use the WW for bullets
After a few min he took me for a walk around back ( out of ear shot of the rest of the guys )
He said he would trade me a 5 gallon bucket of WW for 1000 9mm , 38 , 44 or 45 bullets
So tonight I went back at closing time with a selection of bullets I had on hand
He told the guy's he would take care of me and they could leave ;-);-)
Well he took 2000 124 gr 9mm , 2000 150 gr 357's and 2000 200 gr 45's
He used the fork truck to set the 5 gallon buckets in my truck and threw in a extra bucket and 1/2
I just have to leave the buckets behind the last bay door when I go to work in the AM
I then showed him samples of 44 bullets moulds I had
He picked a 250 gr SWC
He said wait about a month and he would have me more WW
As his order for next month is 2000 44's , and at least 2000 more 357's and 9 MM's
So at least for a while I will be able to get some of those nice Truck WW's
So next time they say no
Offer them something they want
