Do You Have a Lifetime Supply?

[762sultan]

I shoot about 50 lbs. a year and have about 600 stock piled. But I drag home everything I find just in case. I have several friends who work in the auto industry who are very helpful. They go places that I don't and are always looking for pb.

What is a pension?

That's what ya get for sticking it out for 34 years in a health destroying job just to hang on to it. But I'll show them, I'll live forever.

I am up to around 7000 lbs, mostly COWW & jacketed bullet lead. I told my wife I thought I had enough to last me for a very long time. But, the local indoor range called me and let me know there was another 3000 lbs waiting for me. I was there the following morning to pick up the first 500 lbs. It's a disease, common sense has nothing to do with it.

After moving my stash twice in the past year and will have to move again by the first of the year after just moving 2 weekends ago (f'n realtor!) I am sure I have about 10 lifetimes of lead. I suggest not buying a U-haul truck or trailer after I am finished with it.

I think my pickup would jackknife if I didn't let it stop in at the tire place a couple times a week. Yeah, I've probably got more than enough, but I just can't stop a 48 year habit.
Enough, is a relative term.
How long ya gonna live?
How much ya gonna shoot?
Have ya got anyone to leave it to?
Is ya truck addicted to it?

This got me wondering....
I got out the scales and started weighing all the alloy.
Right at 1500 LBS
I'm just not sure?......

[doghawg]

While I may have enough to finish out this tour of duty (65) I still take it when it's free.

[b money]

I have MAYBE 500 LBS of WW's and I'm 22 so no I dont.

I wish I did but since I bought my wife a 1911 last Christmas she's killing my lead stash with her 500-700 round range vists. I've never seen a woman pump that many rounds through a pistol ever much less per range visit. Twice a month mind you.

[bslim]

Do yourself a favor and buy her a revolver. That will slow her down a bit.

I estimate that I have about 1200 pounds, but I keep finding stashes I had forgotten I had. I also have approximately 6 years worth of bullets lubed, sized and ready to be loaded. It doesn't stop me acquiring more lead whenever it comes along though. You can never have too much!

[btroj]

My daughter asked me tonig if I intended to gather as much range scrap as possible next summer. I mentioned that I can never have too much. I am sitting on over 500 pounds of clean alloy, not nearly enough.

I could be satisfied with a 2 ton stash. For now.

[dragon813gt]

Getting closer by the day.


Now I'm out of raw lead so it's time to find more

[farmerjim]

A ton more and I might be close.

[msinc]

I actually have no B.S., at least 5000 pounds of lead right now. But, I want to think I will cast and shoot that many bullets before I "break on thru to the other side" so I voted no, I would use what I got...gonna give it a hell of a try anyways!!!!

[camotruck]

I was so sure I had enough that I started selling it or trading it. Then I got a 460 S&W and find myself running low.

[True.grit]

I think it is going to be harder to get over time. I would get all I could before you can't. If they do not take the guns away they will make it so you can not aford to shoot. If you have kids and want to pass this Right along, get all you can get. Just sayan!

I started cleaning out the store room about the time that I found this thread. When I uncovered my lead stash, I noticed that most of my 5 gallon buckets have split open. As I moved the ingots to milk cartons, I counted them and inventoried them. I think I have enough but I'll always be looking. For years I have had friends, coworkers and family members watching out for lead. Pretty often one of those contacts unexpectedly produces a score.
