I had to do a job I've been dreading - clean out old insulation and debris from the crawlspace of the house we bought. Among the mess was an old metal 5-gallon can of roofing tar. It was badly rusted and falling apart. It fell apart when I went to move it and LO AND BEHOLD! LEAD!!!!
It held about 1/2 doz plumbers lead ingots and enough pieces of lead pipe to fill a clean 5 gallon plastic bucket.
This stuff seems to be pure lead. What should I add to it for use in my magnum revolvers, .30-30 and .38-55?

I would see about a swap for ww from a muzzle loader or BPCR shooter near you. At minimun 1 for 1 probably 2 lbs lead for 3 lbs ww. Gianni
