    That's pretty slick, having the different alloys cast into it.

    Except mine would all be marked "other" and the I'd still have to stamp it with the content, somewhere where there's enough space.


    Just kidding with the griping. While true (COWW is only 1% of all the lead I have, being in California and new to the lead collecting game, my Lino is already in pigs, factory ingots or type, etc.), I'd buy them for the size and shape, and use them for casting alloy or perhaps the isotope or pure lead I might sell or trade.

    I would be interested in more than one mold if the price comes in around that $25 range so you can tentatively count me in for at least 4 molds vs the 1 I previously expressed. 2 Hillbilly and 2 Cast boolits.

    It needs to be a good price and before Xmas.

    Lakehouse, please move me from the "Hillbilly Gold" group into the CB logo group. I'd buy two if we can get the price to $25 or less.

    I doubt very much seeing a price "$25 or less"! If this is possible, I'll buy more than the one I signed up for. How close are we to seeing a price??

    Just an idea to make it easier to mark what the alloy is, have Pb, Sb, Sn printed next to a boolit and then people can just stamp in the #'s and maybe BHN on the other side

    I like your idea Grmps! Let me play with the design when I get back to a CAD station next week.

    would it be worth it to add "Range" to the types at the bottom?

    Same here, at $25 or less I'd get two.

    For sure interested in the CB mold. Probably 2 but for sure one depending on price. Like the idea of spots to mark ratios.

    another thought, remove other and put the word range,
    on the left boolit have BHN. people can add that number for "mystery lead a couple weeks after they cast the ingot.

    another 2¢ worth

    Lots of different kinds of lead: you could cover the entire top of the ingot with different categories. Personally, I'd like just Pb, Sn and Sb, with space to one side to stamp or write in percentages, maybe another blank area to mark/stamp in a category or BHN myself.

    I'd also be good with nothing but a logo, or even a blank top.

    Lakehouse2012 4 pages and I haven't seen anything on the estimated dimensions of the ingots.
    That would make a difference as to what we could have legibly on the top.
    You're saying 2.5 pounds ea. which is a nice weight for alloying.
    Longer and skinnier would fit better in a pot but too skinny wouldn't stack as well.

    another 2¢ worth, (must be in the brainstorming mode

    The internal dimensions of a small flat rate box are 1 5/8" by 5 3/8" by 8 5/8". Stacked snugly, six across in two layers gives a length and thickness of 5 3/8" and 13/16" respectively. Width on top depends on the draft used, but will be something under 1 7/16". The bevelled edge and the draft could take off something like a half inch, so mebbe a top area of 1" by 5 3/8"?

    You might also take a look at "powdered metal". In aluminum, the costs might be better.
    Also, a stamped aluminum part is possible.

    While I always like to source things here in the US, the exchange rate with Canada could be beneficial. There is a consulate office in the Quebec Province that assists Quebec companies with getting business. They sometimes help pay for tooling to get the business. I can get you a number for the consulate contact (used to sell for several Quebec companies , but they were in the molded plastic and vacuum formed parts biz, and worked wonders with that consulate office getting good deals for my US customers). Let me know if I can assist.
