I ran into an old friend today. He's about 80 YOA age now, and I hadn't seen him in about 2 1/2 years. I told him that since I had last seen him, I had taken up bullet casting. I went on to tell him that I had cast a batch or 200 grain .45 SWC's last week and was looking for some more lead as the .45's really use up a lot in a hurry. He told me to come by the house and he would hook me up.
I went by his place and he gave me 300lbs of WW's. I had never before been to his place and didn't even know that he had ever done any casting. I tried to pay him something, but he refused. I offered to give him some centerfire ammo in the caliber of his choice and he said that he only shot .22lr these days. I gave him all that I had in the truck; about 700 rds. I'll take him a lot more here in a few days.
I'll be smelting again next week! :-D
