I have 67 lbs of range lead. I haven't cast this into ingots yet. I am trying to get started. I have bought, from Midsouth: Alox, 6 Cavity Mold 452-200-SWC
by Lee Precision, Double Cavity Mold C309-200-R by Lee Precision for my 30-06 rifle. I also bought a 420 pot, a ladel, and the 6 cavity handles.
I picked up a coleman gas stove off of Craigslist. I am hoping that I can use the stove to cast ingots, and to use those ingots to cast bullets.
I may have made an error, but I did purchase some linotype. I purchased 40 lbs off of eBay. I believe this material is not cast into ingots yet.
My question is, should I try to get some pewter? Obviously I need to see what the BHN of my range lead is. But is there anything else I can do to help myself along this journey until then?
I am hoping I can do all I can to be able to hit the ground running once I start. I am not able to dedicate time actual melting/casting quite yet. But once I can, I would like to have everything in place that I need.
Thanks,
Andy
