Just to throw this out there for info sake....
I smelted a level FULL 5 gallon bucket of WW last night. Bucket weighed 160lbs as per the deer scales I used.
After all was said and done. I wound up with 110 lbs of WW ingots. Had about 10lbs of tape weights.
So it looks as if that particular bucket had about 120lbs of usable lead and 40 lbs of clips and other trash.
Just my observations and results!! Now to smelt down the other buckets full!:-D
