Nice Sam. Looks like your on your way to becoming a Caster. Next picture - a big pile of bullets?

[bigboredad]

seeing a pile like that kinda brings a tear to the eye

It's a nice pile, but why did you dump them in the dirt after spending the time and effort to get them clean?

All that pure lead sure looks purdy.
Pure lead and pure tin plus high antimony lead makes it to customise an alloy.

Kevin,

It is an old cast iron backing pan I got from Springfield.

Those small cheap 3"X5"X 2" deep bread pand make great ingot molds. Best of all, they will fit into a 20# casting pot good enough to melt in.
