These are plinking rounds,maybe an IDPA shoot on occasion. Great info guys thanks. This place is such a good education.

Good, Thank you.

Is 12 too soft for .45 ACP?

I'll try to post a pic later if need be. I have a bullit from a berm I was mining. While I was cracking full encsaed bullit I came across this. The outside is a sorta of silver or grey color, very...

That does sound like a neat trick.

I read the thread about pencil checking for hardness. I must be doing something wrong. All I end up doing is breaking my pencil lead,or making a pencil mark on the ingot.

Thats interesting. What do you stamp? Date?

Yep, that,s the way I understand it.

Cool, so I will keep the WW stuff seperate from the range stuff. I havn't added any stick on yet. I have a few I will throw in my next WW batch.

I have a few different types of ingots from a couple of different places. My WW i've smelted, ingots I've bought and I'm going to be doing some range lead. Do you guys seperate and catalog these some...

Super, I have a few strips of stick on WW. Could I throw this in? Or better off leaving it?

Thanks Evan. So with the lid on I don't need to worry much about the encased bullets? I finally performed my first smelt last weekend with Bob and a couple of other guys. It was a lot of fun.

Thank you.

Thanks, That's useful information.

I picked up some range lead. 52.5lbs It's cast bullets,slugs jacketed. So any quess at all how much useable lead might be there? Also any thing special to smelting these? As I understand it,the lead...

I got with a couple of guys who were smelting yesterday. It was my first time. I ended up with 70lbs of nice little lead muffins.

What did that basket start life out as?

Sounds like a good size, but I havn't tried it yet.

Do you guys use anything to skim range berms with? Do you pick up individual bullets or what?

Same as Love Life said. Pull the tool head off and dump. I will also move the poder bar back and forth a few times to get the last out. Only takes a few minutes.

Good suggestions. thanks

I'm going back this weekend with my son,and try. ;)

I just got back from a camping trip. The place I camp at has a little pistol/shotgun/muzzleloader range only. It is never that busy. well I looked at the berm in the back and they just dug it up or...

Thanks guys. Since these will be all ww lead, I can just seperate by hardness then.

Sort of. I didn't know how to word the question. I have ingots that I've bought from people. I will have ingots that I've smelted. Do you guys seperate these or mark these? Would they all go in a...
