I tried the battery route............it isn't worth it, setting the hazards aside, the time it took me to get the lead out of the battery and to the point I could cast with it, I figured I would be money a head, mowing the neighbors lawn or shoveling his driveway.

Or a half day of over time. With the money I spent replacing my destroyed jeans and other clothing I could have bought a lot of lead.

I also found that with all my reloading I end up with a lot of brass that's just plain wore out. I could sell that brass to a scrap yard for more then enough to buy lead.

Thankfully I don't have to fool with that any more, I get all the lead I could ever use by cleaning the bullet traps in our clubs indoor range.
