Lead

Put it in the washing machine tub (and make sure the movers are beefy and know how to keep a secret)

A 5 gallon bucket of WWs is a little over 100# depending on the WWs. Once condensed down though, they would be allot heavier. I had a military 5.56 can with lead ingots neatly placed and I didn't weigh it but it had to be close to 100#. I'm gonna have close to 1k when I move. And all my other gear and associated gun stuff is going with.

If you're not a fan of British comedy & drama, may have to do another! :thumbsup:

SWMB= "She who must be obeyed". British TV series Rumpole of the Bailey character used this to refer to his overbearing wife. It really comes from a H. Rider Haggard novel entitled "She" about a white queen of a savage african tribe. Rumor has it that Bill Clinton also referred to his wife (whose name we will not mention here) by the acronym "SWMBO."

An ingot here....an ingot there...An ingot in the toes of your hunting boots....a dozen in the trunk of the car...etc. etc. :wink:

When I was in AK in the military and it was time to move I had some thin rooking lead. I put it in my truck under the bed liner when they shipped my truck. Also had lead in soda and beer cans. They weigh just under 9#. I put them behind rear seats. Need to be creative.

Still have about 500 pounds of ingots from my original 960 pound purchase 20 +/- years ago. Not including round balls and bullets already cast. When we moved almost 16 years ago, the moving crew was hauling stuff out of the basement. They asked if all the coffee cans were to go, I said yes, then they asked why they were so heavy (each contained about 35 pounds of ingots). When I told them it was lead, they asked why so much of it. I told them I did a lot of fishing and made my own weights and jigs . . . No problem getting them to move it.

Goes back to the book "She" published in 1887 in London about an expedition into the unexplored interior of Africa by H. Rider Haggard. Along the lines of "King Solomon's Mines" and Allan Quartermain adventures (which he also wrote) and other lost world type tales. "She Who Must Be Obeyed" is the unnaturally ancient and wicked sorceress/ruler of the locals.

Tube rear bumper on a pickup truck, poured full of lead...functional, creative and easy to transport.

when I was engaged to my wife 25 years ago she said that I could not have guns. I told her that she can update my wardrobe, but the guns were a deal breaker.

She was testing me on how far I would go.

I find it best not to try and change your spouse....works both ways....

 

[excess650]

Really?....I must be stronger than I think...only feels like 90... :idunno:

I probably have 10 buckets overflowing with ingots, so if you can pick up one with each hand and carry them off, you're welcome to them. :wink:

 

[coloradoclyde]

Only one hand?.... :shocked2:

That might be a problem.. :wink:

 

[MSW]

SWMBO made me sell off 200 lbs of my lead because we will be moving. I still have 100-150 lbs or thereabout. She wants me to get rid of that, too. I don't know how much I'll be able to keep :idunno:

She also wants me to get rid of all my powder and loaded ammo as well. :cursing:

the first word in human language:


"no"
