    I Hit The Reloading Lottery?

    Got a few items in an auction one being a RCBS Pro Melt at a wicked price. When i picked it up I saw that it was full of lead so with the 2 Lyman ingot moulds that came with it I started it up and cast 20 ingots. After a day of sitting I used my hardness tester and they came in 9 BHN.

    Wheelweights or close enough for government work.

    Dang. A Pro Melt, 20lbs of wheelweights, 2 ingot moulds, a Lee 4-20 and a 4C Ideal mould for under $150.

    Mine too, but it'll skip a generation.
    My heirs will probably store it all until their estate is broken up.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    The police will be knocking on your door soon. Grand Theft is a felony.
    A vote for anyone other then the conservative candidates is a vote for the liberal candidates.

    That a hot deal
    Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large in large numbers!!!

    "Hope" is not a viable plan and voting for undefined "change" is nothing short of certifiable insanity.

    Now to balance karma you need to lend a Helping Hand to someone that can’t find enough to start out.

    Mighty fine score there. In this day and age, it's getting tough to find deals in the shooting department.
