Hi-just turned 66 in Sept.Not drawing SS yet only Medicare,but getting by. Why have these idiots running this economy sent most of our scrap lead to China and managed to get all the lead mines closed in this USA? I wish enough of our people could open an undercover lead mine and sell lead on the Black Market like these Drug Dealers do. I live in IL. and that Idiot BO won't exploit the coal reserves here and in PA. A lot of people will go to work if they do.Anyway I like to cast and shoot every caliber from .22 to .458. I suppose every cal. would encompass .17 to .50 to be right, but no 17 molds out that I know of although I have a .177 Benjamin that could shoot a sized soft lead ball.Don't know if it'd be accurate, but I'd like to try.This'll do for a starter.Hi and God Bless All Here!
nother new guy.

hi... a hearty WELCOME to you and yours !
are you saying BO smells bad ? heh heh i like the way you think.
they say we learn from our mistakes.....hope so, that means we are on the brink of all becoming Einsteins (g).
and the first intelligence test will be to see if we have progressed far enough to fire the Chef and all his chicago thug buddies that have cooked up this rotten gruel we are being served..
yep, seems funny we just want to shoot lead back into the same ground it originally came from.... ashes to ashes ... and lead to lead.....

Hi fa38, I read and researched Alferd Packer, the Colorado State Cannibal, Civil War Veteran, He joined up twice during the war, the first time being discharged for health reasons.There are many stories about that character and even a play written and performed from time to time.If you do look him up, don't accept the first one you find, because there are varied accounts and a published book about his life and times. He is as famous in Colorado as Jesse James was in Missouri. I needed a character alias for SASS early on and since everyone seemed taken, I happened on him by chance and he and I been me since about 1980.Since then I found out that at Colorado State U, The on Campus grill has such food items offered such as Lady fingers, Roast butt of young kid, and other named for cannibalistic tastes on the menus.All in honor of Alferd Packer.The dubious honor of being the only named State of Colorado official Cannibal.He was sentenced to death, but was finally released from prison and on probation became the personal guard of the Judge and became friendly with the town children, often giving them candy, while guarding the judge, he killed a few of the Judge's enemies who tried to harm the judge. This is mostly off the top of my head, but anyone can look him up, but the different sources tell differing stories, but the Cannibalism charges stuck, only because he was the only survivor, but the others apparently starving, ate each other while he went for help.So somebody ate human flesh, it's just not clear if he did.But he was convicted, on three year old evidence-badly decomposed and disturbed by wild animals to boot. He also spent gold which was carried by some of the dead-more damning evidence. As you say, Politics played a strong part then as now. I admired him for being a survivor rather than a hero.I was in the US ARMY in Vietnam,Republic of, where just being a survivor was plenty good enough for me. Any accounts of the life of Alferd Packer that differ from my recollection will not be disputed by me due to my deteriorating memory banks and a 100 years from now nobody will know the difference anyhow.All in the name of Fun. Thanks, Steve.

I see they listed me as mas plumbum, but I'm really started as Alferd Packer, but they wouldn't recognize me nor let me in unless I reregistered as someone else. I used my same everything, but this at&t or chrome google craziness loses my password cookie when I shut off the computer.They are anti-gun, anti-republican, and anti-me.I tried under the first name, but when the cookie is lost, you no longer exist and there's apparently no going back.

Hey Joe
     Don't you think that it would be more appropriate to welcome Alferd instead of insulting him? You have issues.
If someone else had of done to me what I did to myself . . . I'd have killed him. Humility is an asset. Heh - heh.

Welcome Alferd!!! Grab a seat & pay no attention to joeb. He's like “5 O'clock Charlie” on the show “Mash". Stick around and will be looking forward to hearing from you. Pat R.

Hi All, Pat, I'm just here to trade info about the castin and blastin. I get enough hot air off the lead melt. Thanks for the Welcome and Welcome to you too!!!. No hard feelings to joeb and I just don't care. I'm still registered to vote and then after maybe we'll see what is Really going on. I LOVE this website and soon as I can I'm joining the CBA and get the publication. Money is just real tight right now, but I'll survive.They are just now showing all the old MASH reruns and the earliest were the best. I also identify with your John Wayne quote from the Shootist. Thanks and God Bless All Here!,Steve.
