We have the RCBS pot . . . the turkey fryer and the kitchen sink are simply the first stage to get valve stems, cigarette butts, candy wrappers, etc. out of our 5 gallon buckets of wheelweights. A friend of a friend runs a small tire shop and has never bothered to sign up with the recycling people. So we send him 5 gal plastic buckets and they come back full of wheelweights (and valve stems, cigarette butts, and candy wrappers. One of his mechanics smokes. The other one doesn't, but he eats Snickers and Raisinettes).

Thanks for the link to the metals source. Always great to have a backup in case the free source runs out!

We don't shove these bullets too hard because of rules and also because wheelweights wouldn't work so good then (or we'd have to put gas checks on 'em). And the targets are real close so you don't need a lot of oomph. Some people in the club download until the bullets barely roll out of the barrel, but shooting .38 instead of my usual .45 ACP I don't even notice the recoil with fairly standard loads. We did switch to Clays from Unique because as much as I love that powder it's FILTHY and after 6 stages of around 25 rounds each we have 4 firearms each to clean!
