"I guess the T men are after me too. I use pennies for shot pin washers." - KO slugs work well for that too.
As for Cadweld, I have only used them a handfull of times. And only when required to do so. (Some moron cuts that wire sticking out of the foundation...) I don't like it very much, its like emptying out a roman candle, and road flares out and trying not to make a bomb out of it. I have had some spit back at me. Flying blobs of molten metal, not my cup of tea.
I heard somewhere that they now make dispoable molds. 1 time use. Nope, just checked not yet... They did however make a sort of universal mold...
