Greyman 25,604 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 My son bought me a pack of lead ammo from the local gun shop recently and I was a little shocked that they charged him £20 for 100x10mm lead balls, so with that in mind I bought my self a 12 mm mould and today I thought I would give it a whirl and I knocked out around 100 per hour, so if you were making a living from it £20 per hundred does not seem that excessive, but as I'm just doing it as a hobby in my spare time, and I have the lead for free I was thinking of putting the 12mm lead balls up for £10 per hundred, was just wondering what people think, trying to get some feelers, if it's a go I will become a donator before I put any up for sale, if it's a know I will just make my own and save the twenty quid a hundred cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lee 99 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Remember cost of postage might be a few quid due to weight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 25,604 Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Remember cost of postage might be a few quid due to weight I think the postage would work out at about an extra £3 just wondering if that seemed about right Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeskyWabbits 464 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I use marbles in my catapult. Not as heavy but a lot cheaper and fairly weight consistent. Not that I can hit anything other than a house wall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 25,604 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Thanks for the reply,s lads I,m going away for the weekend, but when I get back will get it sorted, will have to find the postage costs out for them, but my local PO got blown up yesterday trying to rob the cash point, also I,d like to get a few thousand ready so people don't have to wait to long, but it looks like a goer, so should be available by mid week next week 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
