Yes, with Zinc in the alloy you can cast bullets
Lyman, Cast Bullet Handbook, 3rd Edition - page 44:
Quote:
For example at 850 degrees, which is in the normal range of bullet casting temperatures, lead will dissolve a little over 2% zinc. If more zinc is added, an immisicible melt is formed and a puddle of the lower density zinc liquid will form on the surface of the molten lead, and no amount of stirring or fluxing will make it disappear. If the temperature is raised, the solubility of zinc in lead increases and the zinc puddle will gradually dissolve. At 1468 degrees, zinc and lead are completely soluble in one another but on cooling, any alloy containing more than 2% zinc will again separate to form two immiscible liquids
Save those zinc wheel weights :castmine:
