Yes,its called he had first dibs on it! Nothing wrong with range lead apart from the crap which comes out when you melt it down,but other than that its fine.Primer wrote:the guy there thought there was some scientific reason that you can't re use previously shot lead
I spent few hours this afternoon melting range lead into clean ingots.
