:) Small Lead find at the scrape yard 8000 lbs. Very hard lead like 3% + Also found the guy dropping it off. That was the better find. He has 32000 lbs that he will scraped over the next month. Should be interesting thank goodness he has for forklift.

The one piece in the front weighs closed to 40 lbs.
Looking forward to your posting disposal of Excess. Have relied heavily on the Pigs I got from you in the past.
Congratulations
You ain't too far away from me! Better put it under lock and key!:bigsmyl2:
Just joking! Good find!
That would be a fine idea.Quote:

Nice little pile of lead!
Great find! Beats my buddies 2000# od lead sheeting.
Wow. That is a great find. I usually can find lead in 100 to 300 pound lots, but it is getting much harder to find. Around here wheel weights are unobtainium. My best score was 40 - 22 pound linotype pigs, still have 16 of them and a bunch of muffins. Neighbor worked for a printing company who needed to get rid of their lead and I was only too happy to help them with that.
That's enough to make you fall asleep every night smiling for a month or two!
Congrats. Must be nice but not happening out here.
hey Hammer, what mold made those 147's
That's a fact!!Quote:

Based on a normal range day of 50 rounds of big bullets that would be a little over 30 years of shooting.
That would be approaching 2 million rounds of 9mm. Time to invest in a sub machine gun.
Good score.
I see that and think, wow that’s a lot of work.[emoji849] Be safe![emoji6]
