If it was me, I'd throw them in my burn barrel. Light it up and come back in a day or two (so I know it was cold and one wasn't gonna go off on me) and clean the mess up. Might cover the top with a...

I wouldn't wait too long, if you go to get it and he sold it to someone else you'll be kicking yourself .

One think to think about, that drum probably took a while to fill up, so the farther you go down the less steel and zinc you will find.

Might be a good use for zinc weights, I'm sure we can come up with enough of 'em. :sad:

I'd leave the paint on, since you don't need to worry about surface quality on the lead it shouldn't hurt anything (as long as you don't breath the burning paint fumes). It should act as a half...

A friend of mime has does this with a 12gauge. He uses a modified lee slug mold and drills a hole into the nose. Stuffs in as much powder as he can (I don't no what kind but it's not black) and...

I love that show. Did you see the part when he shot from the Harley, that was cool.

The one at my range has gotten lazy, he's hung up buckets marked "brass for range repair". I talked to the owner, he's never seen a penny from the guy. I no longer have any qualms taking brass out...
