Can't help it.

When I'm hanging targets or setting up clay birds on the 50yd. burm, I "HAVE" to stop and look down for cast bullets. If there's a group of shooters, I can take a quick glance and get back to the line, but if I'm by myself,
I'll spend 10 minutes or more just looking. Recently found what appeared to be a flattened shotgun slug
and then a copper coated rimfire. Most I've found is a pocketful, but I've plenty of lead for casting so the amount found doesn't matter.

The Range that I shoot at opens for shooting at 8 am: My buddy & I get there for 6:30 am Put our sand bags up on two benches to stake our claim & Then Pick lead for an hour or 2.
Recently picking has been slim because we have a few grubbers that have been working in the dark but they are diggers and really mess up the berms ..we just pick what we see!
Really good after it rains hard, the lead is usually in the runoff trenches.

Our plinking range has mulch on the berm. All the way to the top. When the snow is on, it stops quite a bit of the incoming rounds. Best time I had was during the spring. Snow melted, leaving behind a handful or two of lead.

I always take a bucket for lead to the range. Today it was too wet, I didn't even try. Now this Friday, it should be good for picking.
I have collected about 200 pounds this year. I have 4 full 5 gallon buckets that need melting.
I love a guy who shoots a 45. The little 380 shooters just leave me feeling a bit let down.

HI, Wilco, I wondered when you were going to get your butt over here, I do believe you'll find the atmosphere refreshing, and see that mostly what we talk about here is cast bullet shooting. NO politics, NO religion, period. Keeps us from having some of the common problems experienced elsewhere. Sorry though, no poll feature is activated!

That's one of the great things about lead, never goes bad. Just keep using it and re-using and re-using and . . .

We Have an an old friend that shoots lots of 45 ACP Uses commercial cast boolits too! He is a real Dead Eye! If you get luck and find his area first you put your hand in the hole and its treasure time! Not unusual to come away with a few pound of his even trip. He is an avid shooter and reloader & pretty much shoots every morning at that range. Every chance I get I bring him up some powder that I have no need for or brass etc and he says he wants to pay me back.
I just smile and say you do! Every time I pick lead on the berms!
