Quick question about lead

[Ed1]

I just melted down 20 pounds of COWW and I have 54 pounds of plumbers lead. I only cast #4 and #F buckshot. Should I melt them both together?

[jsizemore]

I would try casting them seperately. You'll probably find you need to cast them HOT to get good fillout or add some tin. The COWW buckshot will give you more penetration.

I do like how the COWW cast out. I used it before. How much linotype do ya think I need for 54 pounds to match up to COWW?

[lwknight]

About 1 lino to 3 leads.

Thank you

I think I had this problem in third grade math!
