I know its crazy but.....I'm so excitedbig-grin

 

Wheel weights seem to be drying up in my area (for free or for sale.)  So today I am about to shop Ebay and pay way too much when I decide to make the rounds one more time.  Second tire store I walk into the salesman behind the counter says he has a few, but He has to check first with the manager.  We talk for a while, talk about shooting and I fill him in on my reloading set-up and tell him if he is ever interested, I will gladly help him get started.  We shake hands and the manager walks up,  saying he almost has a full bucket but it is promised to someone else.  "But I'll save next months bucket for you."  "Absolutely I say!" and write down my name and #.

 

Then the salesman comes back over to me and says to wait a minute.  Next thing I know he is on the phone calling their other store that services trucks.  He then tells me the address and says "Ask for Allen.  He's got some for you.  Drive to the back"

 

So I drive to the other store, shake hands with Allen and he gives me all he has, about 30 pounds of the good stuff sorted.  That will keep me going for a while and I'm up next for a full 5 gallon bucket.

 

All in all, I found some lead and made a few new friends.  That what this sport is all about!

Thirty pounds of lead will make one heck of a lot of bullets.
