Trust me, shooting range "resource" is full of crap, especially dirt, or

Melting down about 500 lbs of range "resource" will yield about 360 lbs of
lead pigs. The rest is scrap.

At least that was my experience.

Odd, I got much better yield out of bullet lead than I did out of wheel
weights. I just couldn't use more than about 1,000 lbs because I
needed the antimony in the wheel weights. Maybe the indoor sand
backstop made a difference.
