Every weekend my buddy & me meet at our publick rand very early to get the only 2 50 yd benches. Since we have 1 1/2 hours to kill before fire time ( State Range rules) we wall the berms and pick spent projectiles!
We Recently we have been competing with grubbers who get there in the dark and mine the berms. Needless to sy in the past 2 mounths I have not been able to recover the weight of what I shot per day ( my criteria).
Last weekend I sat down & made a deal with the grubbers ( you give me all the sorted commercial cast out of the berm & I will pay 10 Cents more then your scrape yard. Now the scrape yard pays 50 cents per pound for sorted boolit lead ( not jacketed) so i offered them 60 Cents per pound for the same. I know our range & the majority of cast boolits shot are commercial hard cast!
What do you fellows think of that deal...be honest. I'm out here in the east were 80 % of the wheel weights are zinc.
