It had been a while since I'd gone over to my LTS
I gave my buddy the front man a call and he said come over, we have a bucket, but it's prolly lots of steel and zinc.
So I went over- he didn't have a bucket, he had 3!!! [smilie=w:
So I loaded 'em up.
I sorted 1 bucket tonight. It was 1/3rds. a third Pb, a third FE/Zn, and a third stickys.
So in the end I should have a shy bucket of WW and stickys. I need to take those guys a buncha donuts. :drinks:
I think the days of lead WW are drawing to a close, tho. Anybody interested in Zn should get hold of me. I have several buckets of 'em now, and soon they will go to the recycler.

In the Book, The Art of Bullet Casting, bunch of articles from Handloader & Rifle magazines, 1966-1981, it has how to cast bullets from zinc.
Might be worth learning so if one day.............
