Autumn is the time to take advantage of cool temps and stand over a hot cauldron of molten lead.
So I smelted up a bunch of 2.5-lb ingots of fluxed and ready to mould lead.
Some ingots were smelted from plain wheel weights. That's going to be for my pistol ammo. And making buckshot. Oli has me wanting to 'sperriment with the 00 buck if I ever get a Lee mould.
Others ingots were poured from almost pure soft lead, which I'm holding back for future Black Powder bullets or Slug making.
Anybody else like to see the gleaming silver pond of galena just waiting to go into bullet making?
