What else could I do...?

[DirtySteve]

What do yall use to cast bullets? Where do you all source the material from. I could cast bullets, thatd be easy enough. Just finding a source of cheaper to free lead that would be an issue. Then if I remember right it isnt just pure lead is it?

Just how many bullets do you want to cast..???? I could set you up with a Magma Master Caster and throw in all the lead you would ever use for free... I even have a Star Sizer. I am moving and really don't want to move the stuff..

I worked on a European mount today. I really kinda enjoyed it. Nasty, but it sure did turn out good so far. I gotta try to finish it in the next few days. got it cleaned up, and bleached. Its drying out good right now before I touch up stain and seal it

Use peroxide

Welding gas;a bottle of argon is mighty nice to have for keeping cans of paint "happy".

Back twds OP;snag a nice "hot rod" traditional bow.Shoot indoors.It's all mental after getting to an easy enough to reach,equipment point in time.Same target systems as air guns BTW.Both will ultimately,up your rifle craft.Moving outdoors (even more fun at night...doh),shooting aerial targets with your bow will up the shotgun sports faster,than words can describe.Like buying a first,BR rifle.....get a used,set up,bow.ILF limbs run the $$ gamut from 100$-1000$ a pr.It takes talent to tell the difference.But any decent limbs will get'r done.

With out getting into too much... numbers off a little on loss amount... I live and work on family farm... we are very diverse and sqeek by... 4 local family dairy farms told my a few days go they will report between $40-60 thousand loss... milk price is around $13 per hundred pounds maybe a little under ... break even price around $16.50-17... and it’s estimated to get as low as $12... one of the farms last day milking was today... cows are leaving in the morning ... very sad to see prices like this...

Sorry about the rant

so sad, thats what happens,...makes me sick

I work nights also. 6 nights a week atm. Im just gonna toss out stuff I did to get out of titty bars and casinos.
Air rifle or pistol practice
Bbqing all night for a killer breakfast
Gardening
Get night vision and go spook yourself in the desert
Learn to cook
Get a motorcycle and enjoy dead roads for cozy night rides.
Learn to play guitar
Lift weights

That was my list from working nights for 7 years

Some may find this funny, but on noghts like tonight I need something else to do gun related to keep me occupied. I hate sitting around the house and being lazy. I like to be productive.

I reload, I clean guns, I reload bulk handgun ammo, clean up the gun room... And I get to where I have absolutely nothing to do. All my brass is prepped ready to load before I ever go plan to shoot, Ive reloades bulk ammo until no supplies are left. Guns are cleaned, shop is cleaned... Im just a sitting duck twiddling my fingers. I got a 20 vartarg being built... But already prepped all the brass for it...

I hate to say it but I may as well be at work on my days off... Its a pit fall of working nights. Family goes to bed, Im stuck wide awake all night and dont have anything to fiddle with..


So... Question is... What other gun related hobby stuff is there to get into playing with? I cant go as far as getting a lathe and learning to chamber and fit barrels. Garage aint big enough for getting in that deep.

Basically looking to add to the hobby or find a new hobby of some sort...

I know Im nuts.

I play Yahtzee or some game I can win at with the better half. I don’t like playing games all that well, but if I do, it’s a lot easier to leave quarantine and go to the gun range for a few hours.
