    We don't have many reloaders at our range, much less casters.
    The range master lets me grab whatever I want as long as no one else is waiting to shoot.

    We have a row of plates on the pistol range, and there is always a layer of 'splats' right on the surface under them.
    In school: We learn lessons, and are given tests.
    In life: We are given tests, and learn lessons.


    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
    This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
    EVERYONE!
    Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.

    Local scrap yard was paying .52/per pound this week for range lead.

    I recently bought 120+ lbs. of range scrap already melted into 40 lb. blocks. I will over the next holiday weekend melt it down into 2 lb. ingots. I intend to melt the individual 40+ blocks into ingots and then combine ingots from each block into a "common" alloy.
    I paid a buck a pound for it. You have to keep an eye out for it.

    I recently joined a shooting club that I belonged to many, many years ago. I do intend to mine the berms, both outdoor pistol, practice, high power rifle, practice and shotgun ranges.
