[Raton57]

I seem to find some lead and also pewter but my wife keeps getting her hands on the pewter and I lose it. Except the picture frames she doesn't like those.

 

[yomomma]

Squish them before she sees them...I only bring home broken items

 

[kenneth carlson]

I work at a tire shop. Needless to say I have a never ending supply. I have on hand about
650 lbs pure lead ingots.
1400+ lbs wheel weight ingots.
9 5 gal Pails full of lead wheel weights. No zinc etc.
3 more Pails I yet to bring home from work.

There is never enough to feed this demon!
I can crank out a 25lb bag in about in about an hour, that includes screening and drying.
Doesn't take long for two guys to shoot off a 25 pound bag of shot!

[tbrwlf]

These are rough estimates as is in three places.

10 lbs monotype
120 lbs lino type
900 lbs range recovery
7-900 lbs pure lead
30 lbs wheel weight

All in small bar or 10 lb blocks.

You guys must have been collecting for a long time, some impressive collections.

 

[209jones]

I think I still have 6-8 35lb bars of pure PB, maybe 10 lbs of straight Sn, about 300lbs of WW, a couple of 5lber's of lino, likely 100lbs of 1/20 in bars, maybe 100 in WW bars, 75lbs of #4, 5, 8 Bleimeister shot, likely 200lbs of #2 in bars. Probably 100lbs of 1/20 bullets, about the same in #2, about the same in recovered 1/20, and likely 100lbs of a blend I am not too sure about,could be #2, might be 1/20, might be a blend of the two.

 

[Auggie Doggie]

Around 450lb WW ingots and 25lb of tin. Needs me some more.

[yomomma]

I have been at it about two years, besides my stash I have passed over 1000 lbs on to others as I did not have the cash to keep it for myself.

You guys must have been collecting for a long time, some impressive collections.

 

[Camaroguy]

550 lbs of range scrap ingots
80 pounds of soft lead ingots
73 pounds of clip on weight ingots
~1000 45 caliber bullets
15 gallons of raw range scrap
25 pound bag of shot... Somewhere. Not sure where I stashed it. I need to get my hands on some more wheel weights, and possibly some tin if I come across some.

 

[speedfreak]

Three forty-five gallon drums of ww to be sorted 200# ww ingots and a 5gallon pail of cast 45 boolits

 

[Camaroguy]

... and a 5gallon pail of cast 45 boolits

And I thought 1000 in a margarine container was lots. How many you figure is in that pail?

 

[infideleggwelder]

just picked up another 60 lbs of ww. about 20 lbs stick on. 15 ish in lead ww marked P or Pb and the rest in assorted MC, T, AW, and PZn marked. i think i tossed the PZn marked last time as they are really quite hard. anyone know what those markings on ww means?

 

[yomomma]

Dem darr be zinkers!!!!!

Anything with a Z = zinc

Use a pair of pliers, zinker will barely scratch

I will post a pictures of common zinkers this week end

 

[yodave]

I just sent 4200 pounds of processed out and I am inline to pick up another 2000 pounds. Living on the west coast and pouring 15 pound downrigger weights sure goes through the reserves pretty quick. thank god for that huge bottom pour pot I had built last year........

as far as bullet lead, I am sitting on 3000 pounds of lino type and another 400 pounds of pure lead.........I am good for a bit

 

[infideleggwelder]

been using the MC and others for slingshot ammo, heavier than steel so a smaller ball required.
also saving it for ballast keel for my sailboat project when that gets back on it feet(keel). pure sinfullness to use bullets for a boat keel.
