    The GOOD news is, I just MAY have enough to last me until I'm eligible for Social(ist) (in)Security. The BAD news is, I'm 61.

    I go back occasionally and reread this thread. Its sad to see that a lot of the earlier posters are no longer with us. I hope that their lead stashes made it to other casters.

    But to keep this thread on track, I voted that I had enough to make it to the other side. Now I have more than enough!

    The good thing is the Feds are going to improve our intra structure. One thing they are going to do is remove lead pipe still in use in a lot of municipalities. That lead pipe is dead soft. The joints are tin as it was used for all the joints. Tin has a lower melting point than lead. Good for us cast boolit shooters. Obama with his monarch edicts changed the EPA regs to put most of the lead smelters and mines out of business. We have plenty of lead underground. Just need to defund a lot of the government agencies that don't contribute to our Gross National Product. Open up lead mining and lead smeltering again. Maybe the price of batteries, fishin sinkers, and boolits will come down. My 1877 Colt Bulldog and 1878 Ten barrel Gatlings require plenty of lead. Will never have enough pb !!!!!
