Yield from a Bucket of Wheel Weights

[Racer X]

I have not started casting yet but have accumulated 3 full 5 gallon buckets of wheel weights. Assuming most of them are not zinc, how many pounds of ingots am I likely to yield after smelting?

I understand you lose about 20% to clips, zinc/steel weights and other garbage

125# +- 20# depending on how much junk has been tossed in with the WW's.

I get 84% ingots and 16% clips & trash.

The last two I did weighed a total of 319 pounds in the buckets. I get about 85% of that into ingots.
