So come to find out my roomie's dad owns a shop. We go by & 10 minutes later we're carrying out a bucket of WW so heavy it takes both of us to move it.
We start sorting through them thinking I've hit a gold mine & I notice a lot of them are stamped: 'Fe' so I look that up & it's the symbol for iron.
Realizing this we go back through what we had sorted, dragging the WW across the floor to figure out what they are. If they make a dull sound & are 'mushy' we put them in the box for melting. If not, they go in the reject box to return to the shop as they use them to make wieghts for their circle burners.
& the guy at the shop said something about magnesium? I thought this was going to be a lot easier.
So basically, if you are sorting through a random bucket of WW, what are you looking for?
My first boolits will be for lighter, subsonic (plain base) .357 mag loads & .35 Remington if it matters.
