Was melting down some WW and toward the end of the batch, I noticed the last few ingots looked wrong. I forgot to turn down the heat on the burner and over heated it. My question is can these still be used if I remelt and mix with the "better" lead. Or is it only good for the fishing sinker mold?

AS long as you didn't get zinc into it, overheating isn't a big deal.

just stack them with the others they are probably all white and crystaline looking the lead is still good.
if you get boolits that look like that throw them all back into the pot and adjust what you are doing.
