Someone use me for target practice please. No, just kidding but I need some relief and I guess the best way to do that is to just let it all out here.
I'm outside gathering lead, making melting pots, building a furnace, just doing basic ML stuff. A visitor showed up and ask me what I was doing. I explained that I'm getting ready to make some bullets. His reply? "Why don't you make some out of aluminum?" Here I go explaining how its harder to melt, harder to start down the barrel if you had one, how it would bust into 1000 pieces when it hits something and why I don't even want to try an aluminum bullet. His reply? "Why don't you just melt some aluminum down with the lead and mix it?" Because they melt at much different temperatures and I don't think they would mix well anyways is why. One curious person, one horrible idea. I'm glad I may have educated him. No big deal.
A friend out of state called. We chatted a while. We got on the subject of casting bullets. "Why don't you make some out of aluminum?" He asked. Here we go again. Talked to my neighbor yesterday, I asked him if he had any lead laying around. He aked what I was going to use it for and I told him that I was going to cast some ML bullets. "Have you ever thought about using aluminum?".... NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY IS EVERYONE TRYING TO GET ME TO USE ALUMINUM? I'm getting tired explaining to EVERYONE that aluminum don't make a good bullet. (for me anyways) I guess thats why I'm here, talking to people that knows a little about sending bullets downrange.
Before you reply with "Have you used or thought about using aluminum?" for a laugh, HHAHAHAHAH..... it is funny. Yes I have thought about it, 2 seconds later it left my mind forever. Good day all
