I rendered down some range salvage this afternoon. The past couple of years, I've been using wood fire to do this in an old cast iron dutch oven. The scrap is mostly from a pistol range and mostly FMJs, so a royal PITA to get all the jackets emptied out.
While I was getting set up today, I noticed the jug of used oil from the last couple of times of changing it in the truck and I thought some of that burning in the pot might do some good, so I poured maybe a cup in with teh scrap. Takes a while to get it hot enough to where the oil will ignite, and it burns quite a while, but it sure got those FMJ jackets emptied out a lot easier.
I have a couple of five gallon jugs of this scrap left to go, so I'm glad I stumbled onto this technique.
