    The Shootist ... marvelous film. Loved the opening scenes from his earlier movies depicting his life as a gun fighter.

    cheers

    Wheel weights are made from a lead and antimony, I used to melt them down to cast bullets some years ago, harder than just lead, better, didn't strip the rifling. Used to work fine in .38 & .44.
