into dutch over melting pot size. We used a double bitted axe and a fine toothed hand saw... Unpaid, I was just happy to be working in a gun shop at 14 years old.

Oh, the temptation.... (reply)

I can even fathom how you would begin to melt that down to alloy!! Wonder if you could get a discount on a hundred plus pound order of tin...

If that was local to me, I'd be mighty tempted, too.

That's is a lot of 250 gr. 44's... (reply)

70,000 to be exact or 110,800 158 gr 357's!!! Would keep me well stocked. Can't imagine casting that many bullets though.

Looks like a keel weight... (reply)

Oh, the temptation....
