Made the mistake once of shooting a golf ball at 30' with my scoped .22 springer pellet rifle. While aiming, I kept my non dominate eye closed and drilled the ball dead center only to have the pellet...

What would be the approximate value of a 311291 mold in good condition? Picked up a couple of molds with one being the aforementioned 311291 and looks to be in great shape.

Wind is more of a bother than cold. Below 20 F is usually the cutoff for me.

I cut them with my 28 ton log splitter. Worked okay but I will try a different method next time as the lead is very hard and almost felt like it was going to shatter!

The end of auctions, rummage sales and estate sales are often worth hanging around until the official end. Most folks leave early and if the weather is bad the deals can really be had!

I believe 7 cents a round average for all flavors of .22 ammunition is where we may end up. Fingers crossed, though.

He promised more lead in the future and I found out he started a Chimney Sweep business and will clean my chimney this coming spring.

Thanks for the heads up. Glad you had safety gear on as so many videos I watch on YouTube about lead casting make me cringe do to the lackluster protective clothing/eye protection/gloves!

Just had a guy answer my Craigslist ad yesterday with 225lbs of 1" clean lead pipe. He drove 45 miles to bring it to me and I paid .71 cents a pound!

Still have all my traps from the years that I actively trapped but this year I will not be out in the field pursuing furbearers. Putting venison in the freezer will be priority number one.

Yep. Just melted a few yesterday. Cut them up into smaller pieces with my 30 ton wood splitter. Made a loud crack when they cut/broke. Definitely a lot harder than lead pipe!

Not in the reloading room but I did melt down wheel weights and ended up with 96-two pound ingots. Still have a pile of pure lead, range scrap and linotype to melt into ingots in the next month.
