He's not shipping live ammo , he's shipping slugs . It doesn't become live
ammo until it's assembled into a cartridge case with powder and a primer .

Anyway -- they were pure (soft) lead.

You probably want pure lead too, as alloys kept under water are
likely to be differentially etched by the water -- especially if it is
at all acidic.

The question comes to mind - if I put a lead alloy in sea water,
and it is "differentially etched", which is differentially etched away
- the lead or the alloying material? Can I take this mess and refine
it to recover the pure lead?

I guess that it mostly depends on what the alloying material is.
I think that the alloying metal will go first in most cases, but I'm not
sure.

But it probably won't work in too deep too quickly -- just turn
the outer layer into lead sponge until that gets crushed and you get
another turn at etching.

Is it possible to "unalloy" an alloy at "home" (for whatever
definition of "home".

The easier it was to alloy, probably the more difficult to
"unalloy". I could see things like an acid which will eat both, though
one slower than the other, and then adding another chemical to
precipitate out only one metal. Then you have to figure out how to
remove the acidic ions and be left with just the lead which you want.

Harold would have good advice if one of the metals were a
precious metal (e.g. gold or silver) but I don't know what he knows
about lead alloys.

Enjoy,

Bullets are inert bits of metal. A round of live ammo is comprised
of a bullet, a cartridge case, powder propellant and a primer. The
primer is the little cap that makes a round "go off" when struck by a
firing pin. The primer ignites the propellant powder which then
creates pressure in the chamber sufficient to push and accelerate the
bullet down the bore and on its way. Peak pressures vary from
25,000 psig to over 65,000 psig per specifications for various
calibers and configurations.

Oddly enough, boxes of ready-to-shoot live ammo containing both
powder and primer in every round may be shipped regular UPS but jars
of powder and/orboxes of primers carry a stiff HAZMAT surcharge. Go
figure, eh?

Hey Richard,

I can't believe that in the 20 odd replies, nobody bothered to mention
how GREAT the boat looks. BRISTOL!!

How much list are you seeing, and are you sure it's "ballast" you
need? Try some bags of water as a test.

I guess you could just always run only on starboard tack so your
weight helps out, or get bigger rail-meat.

Stow more "stuff" under the starboard berths/settee(s)

Put that extra water tank on the starboard side and pipe it over, and
make a simple transfer method to assist, maybe even a seawater bladder
that you can fill while running. I think that the MacGregor 26 uses
some sort of transferable water-ballast, but I've never seen it.

And a further comment about the compass "location". You can't swing a
compass to get it correct unless it is stable in place. That's why
most of the type I see on your moving panel are visible 360 degrees,
and made to be mounted in the companionway bulkhead so it is visible
from both the cockpit and the cabin. And in 4 foot sea's, best that
it is mounted so it can't whip around.

Keep any absolutely required ballast low and close to centre, or cant
the keel.

Beautiful boat, or did I mention that ?!?!

Take care.

Brian Lawson, Past Commodore LMYC.
Bothwell, Ontario.





Bless you Brian!

It's 3 am and I just now got home from a moonlight sail tonight.
So that was a nice post to find!

The list is noticeable if you look.
I can go stand on the starboard rail and level the boat.

The reason for the list is because all the heavy stuff is concentrated
on the port side.

We have a head, holding tank, water tank, and water heater, fuel tank, and
motor over there. (and the two batteries are slightly to port.

I've decided to simply remove the water heater as it takes up a
lot of room in that locker, is heavy by itself and hold another 6 gallons
(call is 48 pounds) of water. It's also over 4 feet from the center line.
That alone would be a 4000 to 5000 inch pound correction.

The motor should have been installed to starboard.
90 pounds, nearly 3 feet off center is 3200 moments (pound inches).
Moving it to the other side would be 6400 moment correction - a big step in
the right direction!

But it's not that simple.
The back stay would have to swap sides too.
And the motor control box would have to be changed.
Control cables rerouted, etc.

A few bars of pure gold on the starboard beam could work real well.

Hmm.... USPS box sizes...

12" * 12" * 5.5" = 30.48 cm * 30.48 * 13.97 = 930 cc

930cc * 11.34 g/cc = 147,176 g == 324 lbs...

That seems too heavy to me but .......

In any case, it's cheaper than FedEx!

Bullets are inert bits of metal. A round of live ammo is comprised
of a bullet, a cartridge case, powder propellant and a primer.

I had no luck explaining that to a TSA employee on my first air travel
after 911 when I plumb forgot that the "fob" on my key ring had for
quite a while been a .357 magnum shell and bullet, sans powder and
primer, with a short piece of ball chain coming out of the primer pocket
hole joining it to the keys. I must have gone through airport security
with it at least a hundred times before 911.

When I tossed my keys into the basket the "ammo" got spotted and I had
to give it up or miss my flight. No biggie, as it didn't have any
particular special meaning to me, 'twas just something I'd picked up at
a gift shop years before. And I'd long ago learned the futility of
trying to reason with someone in "positional authority" who has limited
knowledge of the subject at hand.

It was a little different earlier this year when traffic was slow at the
Portland, Oregon airport and I got tagged for a "full inspection" by a
TSA guy. He really tore into the stuff in my carryon bag and in the
depths of my Dopp kit he spotted a tiny pearl handled pocketknife with a
single blade fully 7/8 inch long. It had belonged to my dad, and I'd
inherited it when he passed away 31 years ago and then completely
forgotten about putting it in my travel gear back then. I couldn't see
letting it get tossed out, so I spent $12 at the handy "mailing machine"
located right next to the table my bag was being inspected on and had
the "weapon" mailed back to our home.

There's nothing ambiguous about the term "bullet". If one said
(redundantly) "bullets for reloading", those who confuse "bullet"
with "round", "cartridge" or "unit of ammunition" could still be
confused as in "how do I reload my pistol with those little lead
thingies? They won't stay put in the magazine! "

So the small box holds 31 lbs and costs $4.95,

At 15c/lb, I guess the medium size wins...

In my late teens, we gathered up the pop bottles in the back seat to
trade for gas to "cruise the strip" on Saturday night!
