I bought my pure lead (1,500 lbs) from folks who were tearing down a radiology lab at NCSU (Go Wolfpack).

After casting a couple of thousand .457 RB for my Ruger OA revolver, I've been noticing when I take walks at night, people can see me coming down the street, but I can't see them. ??? ??? Folks say they see a "green glow" :o :o  ;D ;D

Does that take time to get out of your system? ::) ::)

When you're castin' over an open pot of molten lead, be sure and wear a cap or a sweatband, so perspiration doesn't drip into the pot causin' all kinds of unforgettable dancin' with lead splatters on your body.

Don't ask me how I know that can happen, especially when the pot holds 30 lbs of lead and you're holding a "gang mold".

Just sayin'
