I started with 92lbs or raw ww's a day ago, made some ingots then took a break. Today I made some more ingots for a total of 60lbs. when finished. Loosing 32 lbs of junk that was in with the ww's...zink, antimony, steel, plastic ect.ect. Im Happy with the results, 60lbs of clean lead to play with and I got it for free, sorta, the guy wants me to give him some 40 cal. bullets that I make, What would be a good amount I should give him?
I did the math and if im correct then I should be able to make a lot of bullets, correct me if im off, Just an estimate but if it weighed 60 lbs then that converts to 420,000 grains and if I'm making 175 grain .40 cal. bullets it would give me 2,400 roulds right??? and that's only like half of what I have to melt down so over 4,000 rounds total? I love this, just need to put in the time, and that I really don't mind at all. I was thinking of getting the 6 cavity mold from lee.
