Xray room lead. No idea how much it is. This the second load I've had of this. It's over 1000 pounds. All the 5 gallon buckets have COWW, most are no less than half full several are nearly full...

My dentist gives me a box of the foils every 6 months when I get my teeth cleaned. I've been a patient there 30 years. :mrgreen:

It is usually 5 to 8 lbs, but hey, lead is lead.

I've got around 1200 lbs of xray room lead sheet. I've got ingots that are gold tint because the pot was too hot I assume and when smelting it gets purple, blue, gold on the top. If you keep the...

Oh geez, thanks for pointing that out. I admit to not reading everything posted in the thread.

I see a payment due date of May 18? It says I am supposed to wait for an invoice. Still correct?

I sent a PM with my order on 4/24/12 and haven't heard anything. No invvoice, no reply to the PM??? How can I verify I am on the list? Thanks

I am in for a H&G 68(668) 4 cavity flat base and a set of handles.

How close are we to getting this done?

Indeed!

Yeah, we use it until the pot is hot. Figured that one out pretty quick. After the initial melt, pot stayed pretty hot. That propane can still has gas left after about 4 hours total on it. Kept...

Yes it is. Perfect for pouring the 1 lb ingots. Any bigger it would be to heavy. BTW, let me give Bill Ferguson, The Antimony Man a plug. Bought the ladle from him. Very fast service!

Well, it is stainless steel tubing for legs with a stainless steel plate for a top with a hole cut in it that the fryer pan drops in. The pan ledge and the steel fryer great holds it up. Basically...

So after months of reading and acquiring wheel weights and the other stuff needed I finally got some WW ingots made. Took about 3 hours but ended up pouring out 180 1 lb WW ingots. I have another 4...

Well, I picked up this lead sheeting today. My SUV is squatting down pretty good. I bet there is 800-1000 pounds.

So what is the best way to get the paper backing off.

I see above to just...

Thanks guys. I can't wait till they start the demo on these rooms. Should be soon. He has been telling me it is coming for a month now.

So I have a friend who is a hospital administrator and I asked him about lead. I asked about any x-ray aprons they were getting rid of, any shipping container from radioactive isotopes etc....

No...

You guys are talking about cast bullet right? Not loaded ammunition right?

You need a license to manufacture ammunition for resale.

You do not need an FFL to sell loaded ammunition loaded by...

I have a Bass Pro shop about 15 min from my home. I think I can either buy sinkers or the lead balls there. I guess I will have to go over there tomorrow and see what kind of sinkers they have and...

Thank you very much for the info.

I will buy the .457 diameter balls then just to make sure. I should be able to slug a .44 mag revolver with it too.

I guess I will get some for my .38 and 9mm...

Thanks for the replies.

So if I get these:

Which are Hornady 45 (.457 dia) muzzle loader bullets I will be able to force it...

How do you slug a barrel and what do you need to do it?

Lead balls forced down the barrel?

Where do I get the lead balls and what diameter ball is needed to slug 45ACP barrels?

I was going to get an RCBS ladle. Guess I am glad I didn't. What about the ladles Roto Metals sells? Any good?

Lead comes out of the ground, you'll never convince me lead going back into the ground is all that bad. People make lead out to be some boogie man. Look, don't eat eat and don't drink it and you...

I've hear the same thing a bunch. And many times it's the same guy. So and so been coming here for 30 yrs getting out WW. He's about 75 and a real nice guy!

I figure at this point he must sell...

Exactly what I have and been using it for ever. Never had a problem with it and pulled many bullets.

So when you put the sawdust or other flux in you stir it up, then you scrape of the top of the lead(dross). I have a dutch oven so do I just ladle the lead into the ingot mold? If they are 1-1/2...

Gentleman, I appreciate all the information and your patients in answering questions for someone who is a total newbie to all of this.
