While I have yet to cast a bullet or roundball the possibility of it becoming reality is right around the corner. The reason being is that right around the corner is Cabela'$ and their prices are jacked up. $17.99 for 100 .50 cal rb's is just unreal! :cursing:
Now the crux of the matter is what source to use for lead. Obviously, car batteries and wheel weights are a No-No. Local guys are smelting ingots for a buck a pound for lead and .75¢ for WW and I found some other pure lead sources for .75¢ per pound. Not too far away is a source for RANGE LEAD at .30¢ a pound. no limit.I guess I need to call and find out if it is really lead or copper jacketed bullets mixed in . Say but at that price the copper would be a bonus!
Is the range lead going to be dirty and difficult to clean up and use or is this a boon and I should buy all I can afford? 300 pounds for $30.00 sounds way good to me over 100 pounds for $100.00. what say ye?
