Posting this for my brother cause he's a slacker.
Have a bunch of nice, slightly-too-hard-for-Minies lead for sale at Nationals. They're lead bricks of various sizes weighing between 10 and 25 lbs apiece. Came from some kind of science lab at OSU. We'll bring a scale to ensure accurate weights. $1.25/lb.
Let me know how much you'd like & we'll haul it on down. We're limited to maybe 400 or 500# before the truck bottoms out. Email works best: jimmyangst(at)gmail.com but I'll try and keep my PMs cleaned up and monitored if you'd rather zap me a PM.
EDIT: forgot to mention, this lead is borderline soft-- it passed the "squeeze test" when we cast a minie: with great effort, I was able to squeeze the base oval with one hand. If I wouldn't hear a bunch of scorn from wiser teammates than I, I'd probably keep it and mix it 50/50 with pure lead and use it in my Springfield. As is, it threw a few keyholes.
We'll be at the Fort from Weds. morning on.
Cheers!
