Time to deal with that full bucket.

[Auggie Doggie]

I got a nearly full bucket of WW when I took my all season tires in for balancing before I took off the winter boots. After culling the zinc, iron and other crap weights, I only had about a half bucket. There were a bunch of nice 1oz and even some 2oz stick on weights. After a few hours slaving over a hot Dutch oven on a turkey frier I ended up with this:

Got about 65lb of nice alloy. I tossed in a handful of crappy reclaimed shot for a bit more hardness and some SN100C solder for a bit of extra tin. While it pales in comparison to yomomma's stash it should be good for about 3k 147gr 9mm.

Any stash is better than no stash.

Trying to whittle down my honey-do list so I can get back at it.

I think I have around 600lb of ingots, so I'm good for awhile. Pb is getting harder to come by.

Nice haul Auggie. I myself just joined the casting gang. Reached out to 4 tire garages. received 900lbs of wheel weights and hand picked out all the lead and returned the zinc, iron and steel/plastic. Netted 367lbs of wheel weights and 53 lbs of stick on's. All together only spent $80 for all that after returns to the scrap yard. Here is my first ever small batch 1 hr melt.
