lead
Lead (/lɛd/) is a chemical element in the carbon group with symbol Pb (from Latin: plumbum) and atomic number 82. It is a soft, malleable and heavy post-transition metal. Freshly cut, solid lead has a bluish-white color that soon tarnishes to a dull grayish color when exposed to air; the liquid metal has shiny chrome-silver luster. Lead has the highest atomic number of any non-radioactive element (two radioactive elements, namely technetium and promethium, are lighter), although the next higher element, bismuth, has one isotope with a half-life that is long enough (over one billion times the estimated age of the universe) to be considered stable. Lead's four stable isotopes each have 82 protons, a magic number in the nuclear shell model of atomic nuclei. The isotope lead-208 also has 126 neutrons, another magic number, and is hence double magic, a property that grants it enhanced stability: lead-208 is the heaviest known stable nuclide.
Lead is used in building construction, lead-acid batteries, bullets and shot, weights, as part of solders, pewters, fusible alloys, and as a radiation shield.
If ingested or inhaled, lead and its compounds are poisonous to animals and humans. Lead is a neurotoxin that accumulates both in soft tissues and the bones, damaging the nervous system and causing brain disorders. Excessive lead also causes blood disorders in mammals. Lead poisoning has been documented since ancient Rome, ancient Greece, and ancient China.
So I would like to buy a Rifle Rest. I KNOW I won't use it but 3-4 times a year so I had an idea co-op! Let me know if you would like to go in on one. If I end up buying it myself I will probably just rent it out for like $10 a day or something. But I would like to find 1-3 other people to share...

These POS's are always trying to find a way to screw hunters as much as possible, but lets hope this gets overturned immediately.

I am wanting to load some lead loads for my '03 in order to plink without the shoulder damage. I have a RCBS cast bullet manual which calls for 12-14 grains of 700X with a 115 grain SP bullet and 11-13 grains of 700X with a 180 FN bullet. I have an abundant supply of IMR HI-SKOR 700X powder...
I have for sale 1500 bullets for $80. $30 per 1 box of 500.
They are Missouri Bullet Company lead bullets.
These are 115 grains, .356 diameter, round nose lead bullets.
Price firm. I'm in Tualatin but I can also meet in Salem.
As a rookie reloader, I am hoping you experienced guys can help. I've been reloading 9mm using Red Dot for 4.1 grains (load data I got from the Lee Handbook) and using Xtreme Bullets (full metal jacket bullets at 115 grains). Everything's been working great so far.
My question is if I...
