That is a very interesting video, starting with a series a major safety violations, followed by some pretty cool range procedures, especially the lead recycling and reloading procedures.

A penny/round!

Very cool vid Bill! Makes me want to time travel back to simpler days!
The absolute lack of PC or nanny state shenanigans is truly awesome! I couldn't even imagine trying to recover lead at the range then casting and reloading it for duty practice. These days something like that would cause a tear in the space and time continuum, and it'd likely suck the perpetrator into an entirely separate plane then the one I work on!LOL

I saw that too--- Fifty rounds and he hands him (I guess...) a fifty cent piece. The register shows .50, but it also shows a ".05" that I'm guessing might have been his change??? Or does that mean it was 55 cents? Either way, cool!LOL

No way would I trust someone shooting near my face like that. That cigar shot was really too close for comfort.

Pity is: The guy I'd have faith in doing it isn't even in an armed profession anymore. Guy was a real laid back type you'd never guess would be such a shooter. He was like some kind of idiot savant when it came to shooting. He was a machine, and didn't even care.LOL
