Zinc muffin ingots

[odinohi]

What can I do with these? I think I have over 50lbs. Melted them in a seperate poy using a seperate ladle. They used to be a couple of lamps that fooled me for brass at a garage sale. Any info will help. Thanks, Tom

You can take them to the recycler for scrap or find someone that shoots cannons and see if they want it. But first and foremost, I would mark them.

X2 on marking them, I mark my various alloys with spray paint. WW = black stripe, soft = red stripe. I'd paint them something very recognizeable so you dont accidentally mix anything.

Pending your location , zinc could get you 80-90 cents per pound.
They make really good weights and castings too. Just not good bullets.

Cast them into boolits, seat them into uncharged cases, drill a hole through head of the case and sell them for a couple bucks as keychains!

Transfer punches are cheap at Harbor freight. I like to stamp my alloy so I know what it is.

I've been experimenting with pouring zinc into fishing sinkers to save lead. I haven't tied them on to use them yet, but they look decent.

Kind of heavy for trap or skeet shooting.

Scrap it

I use them for fishing weights and also casted some of the LEE 1oz shotgun slugs with them to be used in my smoothbore shotgun. They work fine...the work better for fishing weights and seem to be very strong and take a beating off the geties purty good.
