Just got a case of 4895 and a case of 4064 today. Maybe the last ones for a while???
So I never got on the wheel weights bandwagon but I have several tons of pure lead, and a good supply of foundry metal that is 12% tin,26% antimony and 68% lead. Only thing I have with arsenic in it...

Well in my younger years our family would have starved without critters. Like ghosthawk said, pigeon was a readily available source. We actually went down to the river bridges in Des Moines with 22...

Anyone here from the old San Diego Scheutzen Guild shooting at Dulzura? There was a doctor shooter there at one time firing antique rifles that were worth more than my first home. Almost every one...
