LegendLength the barrel is what contains the pressure pushing outward from inside the bullet casing, making the bullet the weakest point for the pressure to release through. Without the barrel, the explosion just blows the bullet casing wide open and the bullet barely goes anywhere.

Legal outdoor ranges will let the bullets build up to a point then do a mass cleaning generally with a trommel to quickly pull the bullets from the dirt/sand the brims are made from. Most recycling places will not touch copper from bullets as it is classed as a hazardous material due to the lead that sticks to it even after melting it out. To make it into something they will take you have to melt it into bars or find the few that deal with it but pay far less then coppers scrap value. The brass is also a good thing to collect in both legal and illegal ranges both for reloading or for melting down.

Newer ranges have prefabricated metal trenches beneath the berm to collect up the spent bullets, and are usually sifted out for recycling once a year or so. The indoor range at my club collects all the spent bullets from the trap [although club members who cast their own bullets are welcome to take some too] and puts them in 55 gallon drums for a recycling company to take. The proceeds (about $5000-$6000 annually) are used to fund the youth shooting and firearms safety program.

@GunFunZS8 жыл бұрын
bcubed72 For just about anything using smokeless powder you need an alloy harder than pure lead. Basically the bullet needs to be hard enough not to warp under the pressure of acceleration, but soft enough to obturate into the rifling. i.e. it needs to be within the 'spring back' range of compression. Thus there is no single ideal alloy. It must be tuned to the load, or the load tuned to the bullet. The higher the chamber pressure the harder you alloy needs to be. For black powder, pure lead or pure with a little tin in it is standard.(aprox 5-8 Brinell Hardness Number) Non magnum pistol bullets do OK in the 12-14 BHN range. 18-22 BHN will do for moderate rifle loads (including most of the reduced power loads that are typically designated as suitable for cast bullets). For modern rifle pressure at full power you tend to need 32-36 BHN. Hardness needs to be such that the compressive strength of your bullet is 90% of the force which acts upon it. There is a formula to derive ideal alloy from your known or estimated peak chamber pressure. It really does produce better performing ammo, and is a huge labor saver over guessing and checking. I find that I can find the accuracy node between alloy and slight variations in charge weight in a single range trip. I heat treat my bullets for more consistent properties and to get more performance out of cheaper alloys.

The guide nearly had a heart attack, got him to stand exactly where he was and recreate the throw with a rock. When they screened it out of the river, the guide sliced a chunk off of the outer lead casing to reveal a solid gold nugget. They paid for their vacation, everyone else's food & drink for the night, and gave the guide a big tip. We also had the opportunity to pan at one of the beaches on Nova Scotia, which the rangers say on average will yield after a full day about what you pay for one day of access to the park, and lunch... About $10-$20 worth. Again, fun, not really profitable.

@@bigjohn7818 Dirt cheap, doesn’t hurt gun barrel steel, and it’s the densest softest metal that carries the most momentum as a projectile. Very malleable and is perfect for hollowpoints and other expanding bullets. People have been shooting and eating animals with lead for 1,000 years now and lead poisoning is not even a remote concern if you clean the animal correctly. You don’t eat any meat around where the bullet/shot entered/fragmented. The biggest lead hazard with shooting is not the bullets at all but the primer compound lead styphnate which is vaporized upon firing and is inhaled by the shooter especially indoors. Only thing similar to lead in shooting is bismuth or tungsten in a polymer matrix. But lead is so superior with expanding hunting/defensive bullets and the others are way too expensive. Steel shot sucks so much and wounds as many birds as it kills and it’s not suitable for handguns or rifles except as jacket material and even then it causes forest fires from sparks. Uranium makes a great bullet too but it’s too hard to work with, too expensive, and the ATF and NRC both frown strongly upon them because they’re both armor piercing and radioactive. Copper is becoming a lot more popular but every bullet has to be precision machined which makes the ammo prohibitively expensive for anything but hunting or defense. Nobody could afford to shoot 2-500 rounds a month for practice.

When Fishing anglers are bar fishing in rivers of British Columbia, approximately one thousand to two thousand tons of lead are lost as gear each year which is an ecological disaster. But with the famous Pacific Northwest rivers such as the Chilliwack shoving all those lead plates and mini trolling sized cannon balls just lost by fish and snags make it even worse as it dissipates slowly or rather broken up and pushed out to tide lands.

That is the estimation from local environmentalists and I would not recommend even boiling the waters with a generic water filter afterwards because of the lead count. Unless you would want to have a lead gut to handle it for maybe a few years or less lol.

You can get a steel mesh spoon or similar utensil to separate the jackets from the lead pot before you pour it. If you have a steel 5 gal bucket laying around you can just toss the copper into it and then melt it down later. I've been melting lead to make bullets in large plumber pots for many years, this is how we separate our jackets.

next time on cody's lab WILL JET FUEL MELT STEEL BEAMS? find out next time
@naverilllang8 жыл бұрын
jet fuel didn't melt the steel beams in the world trade center. it only needed to soften until they could no longer support the tower. imagine taking a piece of hard plastic and placing it near a fire for a few minutes. it won't melt, but it will be more pliable. this is the same (albeit on a much larger and more extreme scale) for the 911 attacks.
@sonyaelin89368 жыл бұрын
The reason the statement "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" came about is because molten "steel" was found at Ground Zero, supposedly it couldn't have existed with just the heat from burning jet fuel and was presumed to be from additional explosives, thermite or something similar. However, it was likely actually molten aluminum that was found, not steel, which came from the plane fuselages and burns at a much lower temperature. No legitimate conspiracy theorist, or anyone with a brain for that matter, believes that the steel supports needed to melt for the building to come down. I have no idea where that belief came from or why pretentious people, like yourself, think you are doing some sort of righteous "educating of the masses" when you type up these comments. You all regurgitate the same exact thing, that's how I know you have not even bothered to do a quick google search on the topic. We all want to believe that conspiracy theorists are a bunch of brainless idiots, but perhaps do a little research into what they are saying before you start trying to disprove them.

Cody, the lead bullets also contain some amount of arsenic, antimony and even bismuth. Most common impurities of lead minerals are antimony (Sb), tin (Sn) and arsenic (As). You check this from the periodic table: Tin is in the same group with lead and through the effect of inert pair: antimony, arsenic and bismuth (Bi) are impurities of lead.

Hello CodyDon! I´m Daniel, a big fan of science, and ofcourse your vids. You´v put up a few vids about Lead over the years and I found it very interesting as usual. Recently I get the hold of a dead lead acid car battery, thinking I could melt the lead down to cute ingots, just for the fun of it and also to learn in the process. But, to my disappointment, I was to discover that the only lead to melt was the bars at the top of the battery that connects the cells together inside, and some in the grid of the plates after removing the brittle pasty stuff on it. I noticed that after removing this brittle stuff (Lead Dioxide and Sponge Lead according to wikipedia) from the lead, it still had some weight to it, although I could´nt see any typical metal in it. One plate is dark brown and the other is leadish grey. It seemed to make up for the majority of the batterys weight, making me think it was some kind of lead but not in its metallic state. I wanted to melt this down as well instead of just put it in the recycle bin. But when trying to melt these two compounds it did´nt form any lead at all, but only a yellow glossy brittle thing that needed way more heat to form then the lead it self. Maybe because of sulfuric acid resedue? I don´t know. This is probably obvious to many, but my chemistry knowledge is nothing to brag about. Anyway, this brings me to my question. Is it possible to turn the Lead Dioxide and Sponge Lead back to regular metallic Lead? After all I want all the lead I possible could get out of the battery. But if it includes some advanced chemistry to achieve I probably just leave it on the shelf for now. Anyhow, it could be interesting to know the procedure. Knowledge is king/queen after all =) Have a nice day all.

I was hoping you'd be milling, concentrating, and smelting galena from the mine you've been refurbishing, but reclaimed range lead is cool as well. One point: you don't actually need to separate lead from waste rock. When the lead is melted, the rock will float to the surface and can be easily skimmed. I do a lot of lead casting for shotgun reloading; it's a satisfying use of spare time.
