Hey all,
New to the forum and just getting started in casting and reloading. I just wanted to get some input from more experienced people on these lead ingots i have the opportunity to pick up. There is someone local selling lead ingots for 1.50/pound and I was able to negotiate down to $1/lb if I buy 200 lbs. In the picture I am attaching, I noticed brown residue on the ingots which I am assuming is rust? Will these be ok to cast into bullets or should I melt them down again and refine them first? This will be my first batch of casting and reloading and want to make sure I do it right the first time. The rounds will only be used for plinking ammo.
Any advice is appreciated and Happy Holidays
Tony
