Hey hobbles,
I am out of wheelweights and dug up bullets. The brush has grown up around my old backstop. My new backstop has a bunch of dirt filled tires and I have not had the energy to dig them out. Mostly cause I have to shovel the tires full of dirt again.
I do have a couple of bricks of lead that my F in law gave me. They weigh like 75 lbs. each from his old oilfield pump station job. Brother gave me 2 full bags of birdshot he found in an old house his consturction crew was demolishing. Also got several of the lead pipe vent covers from the roof of my house. The roofers took them off when they redid the roof a few years ago and were gong to throw them away. All of it is pure lead, too soft. Haven't mixed any bullet alloy in a long time. Guess I need to locate some tin. Plumber's solder maybe?
Finally found some bullet lube for my luber/sizer. It was for an RCBS and mine is a Lyman. It will probably work. The one GS I go to is 70 miles away and they have not had any since the great ammo shortage. They had a good stock of bullets again and primers too. Wonder how long that will last?
