I'm about to build one out of 4x6 timbers. It will be about 4 ft high and 5 ft wide. Surely, I can keep a bullet within 20 sq ft.

Scott, I don't worry much about sifting for lead. I have about 100 lbs of wheel weight lead that I've accumulated. I buy them from a small recycling place for 50 cents per pound. That's about what they get at the large recycling place. Of course, an occasional 6 pack of beer is involved. I haven't actually casted any boolits in over 20 years. But, I'm thinking about it.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
