But Jim to be a true recycler did you dig all your bullets out of the berm and recast them? what's more fun than shooting a bunch of 38 special... besides a 22?
I recently opened a GI 30 cal can and found 150 38 specials loaded with wad cutters I had forgotten about, along with them were 22s, 308s , 223 and in another can were 450 Bushmaster, more 22s, a 22mag magazine for my 10/22 mag and 300 22mags!

I used to do that! But with these I gathered up a bunch of scrap iron on the place here and took it to the metal recyclers, then swapped it for a bunch of lead they had.
I usually go with 3.5 if loading 158's with Bullseye for two reasons. First, it comes out to an even 2000 rounds to a pound of powder, which works with my reloading OCD. Second (but not least) I think that I recall Terry Murbach saying that 3.5 with a 158 was more accurate than 3.0 and I believe him - not that my average shooting would prove it.

That may be true in some guns. It certainly does not hold true for all.

no way I could load 2000 rounds without spilling some

That works Jim!
I recycled 3 solar panels, aluminum frames, copper pipe and copper sheet- recycled it into $490!
