    plumbers lead ingots

    found 5 ingots. believe they are soft lead. I have used coww up to now for casting. what to add to lead to cast bullets? 45/9/30-06 this will be good for round ball, 45/50 MLs

    precision= measure with micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with chainsaw
    The only constant is change.

    Cut it 50/50 with COWW and burn it up in your .45.
