New lead from eBay - Bullets look “galvanized”...

[Inverness]

Uh oh, what do I have here? Not sure if this is normal, my first time with WW alloy. Was told this lead was from lead wheel weights. They are a little softer than some commercial Bullets that are BHN 12. Weight is same as when I was using 10-1. Thoughts?

Looks like the lead was very hot when cast. I like them like that.
That is crystalline structure in the alloy.

I concur...it looks like really hot alloy. As long as they are filled out...shoot 'em up.

buy your lead from our sponsors and you know what your getting, buy from the bay and its anybodies guess.

Those bullets look like they dropped from a LEE 452 - 255 RF mold.
They are really well filled out, so I would say keep casting them the way your doing it, those bullets are great and good to lube and shoot. A little frosting just makes them festive Christmas bullets.

Yes that’s the one. Haha thanks! I was very pleased with this bullet in my peacemaker clones in 10-1, looking forward to trying these out.

I like a little frosting on mine too. I get my best fillout just at the point of frosting. Too much though, and you will lose definition of the edges. 'Looks like you got these just right.

MOST wheel weights won't dent with your thumbnail. It will shine it. But it shouldn't cut or scrap a groove in it. Or at least that always worked for me.
