A friend of mine found approx. 25 lbs. of pure lead and gave it to me. I have a Lee single cavity mold and produced these yesterday. I am not sure how many bullets I will be able to make but I am sure it will be enough to do us. I will finish up the rest today.

I tried in the past to use ww's for my muzzleloader, they loaded fine but the accuracy wasn't there. Hopefully these will work better.

It is the Lee single cavity 360 gr. Minnie bullet. I thought I would be able to finish up today but it is taking me longer than expected. I cast a little more bullets today than I did yesterday and still had enough lead to refill my Lee Magnum Melter pot for tomorrow and a little more raw lead left over for the day after tomorrow. I want to finish up the pure lead so I can be ready to go back to the ww's. Here is a pic of the small piece of raw lead I have left.
