I stuffed 405 gr cast bullets over 40.0 gr of IMR 4198 and ran these things through the little .45-70 Guide Gun. Thumpers for sure. The impact on my heavy steel plates was violent.

After the splatter, nothing left for the next smelt ?
That sure is a hunk of lead !!

Probably nothing big enough worth picking up to use again. It's obscene how much lead is in the ground at my range.

I know I've put a good 40,000+ rounds in that hillside. And I would not be at all surprised if all the other folks who have shot up there with me have beat that by a wide margin.
I won't ever have a garden there, that's for sure.
