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. Didn't seem to make much difference whether it was from an outdoor range or indoor ranges that used a steel trap. Most of my stuff was from indoor ranges. Lots of what I'll call slag which was NBD. Had a pot that would hold about 900 lbs of molten lead. When melting was in process, the slag would float on the surface of the molten lead where it could be scooped off with a common garden shovel. -- Lew S/A: Challenge, The Bullet Proof Boat, (Under Construction in the Southland) Visit: http://home.earthlink.net/~lewhodgett for Pictures |
