The statement was "they were heavy". 

now that's an understatement, the Barrels being 600lbs.  Having hoisted and carried 125lb sacks of feed at my Parent's farm when I was a teenager(that was the limit for this 130lb weakling), I could only wonder at up-righting a full barrel.



I have seen that there was a request from Japan in the 1930's for a better grade barrel on the export moly.  The story is that barrels were used for depth charges in WW2.  Proof??
