How about a short summary of the topic?
Folks, please consider how terse you are with posts in the FAQ. Lead from batteries, very apropos, nasty mojo in the newer batteries.
How about - old times, batteries did not have much bad pixie dust, but modern manufacturing has used more bad stuff. Smelting down the plates of a new battery exposes you to x, y, z. Please go HERE for a full discussion of why new batteries are a bad source of lead.
Just a style suggestion. Give a condensed nugget of the topic, enough to give a succinct grasp of the topic, link to a knock-down, drag-out discussion for those wanting to know why... and let it go.

Printing parts of posts and parts of the LASC info
Hi
I don't do many posts because I am usually able to find answers to my questions.
However, I have not found a way to print partial threads and parts of the LASC references.
I don't want to print the entire page/s as it has stuff I don't want to print out and put on the wall.
I only want part of the LASC info and parts of the answers to the original question/thread.
For example. A question is asked, then someone replies in a very informative way, the other posts
are "good one", "Thanks for the info" and so on. I only want to print the informative part.
So, how do I do that? Thanks in advance.
P.S. I don't know if this is the right area for this question but I had to put it somewhere.
Powder coating over lubing?
I have been reading up on Powder Coating Boolits as opposed to Lubing them. From the research I have done it appears Powder coating would be quicker, cheaper and overall better for barrel leading and velocity. Some say with the powder coating a boolit can be run almost as fast as J word due to the coat acting like a jacket. It has also been said that Lead hardness is not as much a factor and much softer leads can be used. OPINIONS on who uses powder over lubing? Again this has been covered to death but this is more of a poll on who uses it over lube.
