Good news#2

Guess it’s time to order some more lead.

I work at a gas station / mechanic's garage.... Working now in fact... And if I cared to work with wheel weights I could have all of the wheel weights my little heart desires.

I prefer the pure soft lead myself but if I fall on hard times there's always wheel weights.

Same here.

Zinc over here now.

Zinc over here now.

We have buckets and buckets of wheel weights
Probably about 10% of them are galvanized steel. Probably virtually all of the new vehicles but there is still plenty of lead

I also came into buckets of WW - the old style - and used it mostly in the smoothbore but it also seemed to do well in rifles too.

I have used them in the 1858 in the past. They will work in a pinch though less than ideal. It probably didn't hurt since I had a 451 mold and the gun really calls for a 454

That #$% will be in a nursing home soon enough.

But not before he ban's lead

That's a damn shame when the idiot politicians create a black market for a metal....

It would be easier to replace the despots in government than to replace lead

Amen

I wasn’t quite ready to “bite the bullet (or ball)“ on casting just yet, but looks like I better go ahead and get some lead myself, in case.

 

[angelariz]

I suppose ill be ordering molds and soft lead from amzon or something.

I just recycle mine. I shoot into the berms at the gun range, then spend a few minutes mining the berm for lead.
I process enough of it to trade with a guy who lives on the West Coast. He has soft lead and we trade pound for pound.
Have done this twice now.
