I recently came into possession of two melting pots. Both of them contain solder used in the electronics industry. One of the contains "leaded" and the other is "unleaded". I was told the composition was: 63% tin/37% lead, while the other was 95.5% tin/3.8% silver/0.7% copper. Each pot is rated for 22 pounds each of lead and are filled with the solder.
I and going to melt the solder and cast them into ingots. That way I have two new pots to add to the fleet.
The real question is: once I cast the solder into ingots, are the useful? I am currently casting COWW for low velocity rounds and SOWW for BP use. Nothing I cast for would be considered hi-velocity.
