Howdy all,
From light to 24 ingots was an hour and a little less than a half, 6" X 2" angle iron ingots. 6 molds sure beats 2.:drinks:[smilie=w: BTW, I was using a 6 qt Dutch oven, looking at a 16 qt, and a Bayou Classic Cooker.

Those ingots must weigh right around 3 pounds??
Do enough of that and you'll real strong wrists!
I made four ingot molds, 4 ingots apiece, but used 1 1/2 angle. ingots weigh about 2 pounds each an my lead pot will make 32 ingots with each fill.
A couple buckets of WW make me one tired puppy!
So I will suggest pacing yourself if you get a bigger dutch oven!

Even more reason to pace yourself!
But glad you were able to find that much lead!

Sounds like since this months theme on the cast pic's forum is your lead stash, somebody needs to post a pic over there and show off a little bit.

Here is a small score of pure lead. Stumbled across a rolled up sheet of flashing lead and when I asked was given it free - almost 150lbs!
Whoo - whoo!
