I cleaned up the indoor range last spring and 4.5 buckets was 657lbs, and yours might be slightly fuller than mine were.

I recently made a similar (once in a lifetime) haul of about 1400#. It looks like you have a mix of mono-type and type spacers that came from a print shop (or similar). I melted some representative batches of each and had them tested for composition. I thought my data may be of interest to you. My 'type was 78% lead, 12% tin and 10% antimony. The spacers were 84% lead, 7% tin and 9% antimony. Considering the various compositions of "'type", your specimen may vary but I'd think yours would be close to mine. I blend my material with pure lead to make an alloy that is approximately 92/4/4 (~14 BHN) for use in all of my handgun calibers from 38 Special to 454 Casull. It casts well, is hard enough to be pushed a bit and it is tough but not brittle without heat treatment. Using my basic recipe, you have enough material to make at least 2 tons of bullets. Nice haul!
