Interesting what do you mean by recycle? do you melt down for ???? I only kill paper also not .at least a couple times a week. daily if my life would allow it.
about 20k pellets fired per year on average the past 3 years.
i only kill paper, so it allows me to recycle the lead.

yeah, i shoot into rubber-mulch-filled boxes. when it's beat up, i shake-n-dump* the box. pellets are mostly at the bottom of the 5-gal bucket i use to move the mulch to a new box. old lead gets shipped off to a buddy who makes new slugs from them.Interesting what do you mean by recycle? do you melt down for ????

Yeah I like it that your buddy uses the lead for slugs I'm also not a fan of killing just to kill Don't get me wrong if you hunt and eat what you kill I get it, even if its for pest control I understand but just for the "fun" of it I'm not a fan.yeah, i shoot into rubber-mulch-filled boxes. when it's beat up, i shake-n-dump* the box. pellets are mostly at the bottom of the 5-gal bucket i use to move the mulch to a new box. old lead gets shipped off to a buddy who makes new slugs from them.

re: , i've managed to go nearly 60 years and never put a round into a living being. i hope to keep it that-a-way.
critters around here are so used to me shooting, they don't even bother moving.
