The reason y'all haven't seen me advertising my lead ingots in 'Swappin' & Sellin'' is 'cause I'm still tryin' to catch up with that huge list of back orders I so stupidly allowed to pile up over me. That, and I've had two customers ask to be put on a regular order every month. One wants eight and the other wants six. Be patient with me, I'm gettin' there.

Now, a question for y'all:

If I were to segregate the factory bullets from the cast boolits I find and smelt, cast and sell them separately, is that something y'all would be interested in?

I have two smelters and it would be easy to do this. I didn't know if some of y'all might like to have access to the almost pure, dead soft lead that is used in factory bullets and then ingots made exclusively from hand cast boolits.

How 'bout it, fellas? Any feedback on this idea? Standing by.....

I am sure all the swagers would be interested in dead soft including me.

Do a few hardness tests before you jump into that. I think you'll find that the jacketed bullet cores vary widely in hardness...very few are dead soft.
