started today to melt my wheel weights

[skykingjohn]

well they say the first step is the hardest . wrong wanted to see how hard it was to melt wheel weights to make up lead ingots . Put it on a camp stove with a heavy stainless steel pan and a 98 cent wally world slotted spoon a bunch of wheel weights . melted so fast i was stunned .
had to stop because i had no way to or a place to put it am going to get my stuff together and cast to ingots tomorrow will post pics if i can

does any load book have data for lee molds ?

There is load data for Lee molds in the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook 4th Edition. I can answer about specific molds if you want to PM or post here which ones you have.

No data for either of those in the Lyman CBH 4th or the Lyman 49th. Should be able to find starting data here on the forum though.

no worry i have loaded enough 9 mm 38 spec and 357 mag that i can use the load data i have safely just thought i had missed a load book that had lee data in it
i have lyman load books loadbook usa and lee 2th edition plus lots of other powder manufacturer data . i will just pick a close load and do a low test and work up
