I had cast a bunch of bullets this week out of mostly pure lead (old deep sea fishing sinkers). They weighed in at about 256grns (mold says 255)
I got a melting pot and a bunch of free lead from a guy i hunt with today, so i milted down about 10 lbs of it from one long stick (kinda the shape of a big piece of French bread) All my bullets came out looking very shiny (my sister asked if they were silver bullets:groner:) And they seamed real hard when it came to knocking open the sprue plate. When i weighed a few of them they all came out to be around 238grns...
I'm assuming this means it has alot of tin in it? Anyone have a clue how much? Should i just find some pure lead and start mixing up big batches to try to get it softer???
Thanks guys, i just started this last week!:killingpc:lovebooli
