Well I did it. Melted down my 11 pounds of bullet pick ups from the range. It gave me about 8 - 8.5 pounds of lead. I have no idea how hot the lead was, so maybe that is part of the problem, maybe not enough tin???
Anyhow here is a picture of one of the boolits. Not one of the worst and not the best but about average. The weight of the better 10 of the 30 or so that I casted was between 479 and 483 grains.
Is there any problem with shooting bullets like this? Any suggestions. Is this a decent bullet or completely awful?
