Title: Used pellets
Post by: jimbo on April 02, 2023, 11:07:43 AM
I bet that I have about 20lbs. of lead from my recovered pellets out of my pellet trap and I don't know what to do with them. I don't see myself melting them down and making my own. I emailed Mr. Hollow point a while back and offered them to him ( he lives near me) but I never heard back from him.

 Mr. HP only uses pure lead, mixed pellets are not, any local gun clubs around or local taverns that allow to post items for sale or free ???

Oh yes I would give them away rather then throw them in the garbage.

Ya know... I have been looking for an excuse to come meet you face to face.
 Would you be willing to travel a bit East and I go more West?
Could even buy you lunch.

I used to melt down my scrap lead for fishing sinkers when I lived in New Jersey decades ago and currently it's melted into non-marring hammers for my metal working project setups when needed. I currently have a 3"ish layer of used pellets from my upstairs pellet trap in an empty cat litter bucket waiting to be melted into "ingots"......
