Good score over the weekend.

My hunting/shooting buddy called me Saturday and said get up here to the house and get this stuff off my tailgate. He'd been given two large totes of old reloading stuff. Mostly old brass ready for a ride to the scrap yard, but a bunch of cast bullets and 3K of new unopened Beeman air rifle pellets, and 2 Pringles cans full of lead shot.

Gave me most of the brass and all the lead, and some old corroded ammo I can pull down and get bullet cores out of. Most of the lead bullets are 7 BHN and the air rifle pellets are as dead soft as it gets. The bullets are nothing I can use so they'll get melted down with the pellets. I'll save the shot for muzzleloader shotguns.

All in all I'd guess there's 30 or so pounds of soft lead there.......
