Now I'm confused. Much of my smelting and casting stuff comes from the local thrift store. My ingot mold is one of those things you poach eggs in. It's aluminum but the ingots never stick.

Thanks to all of you. I feel a little more normal. When I decided to start hunting regularly, I dug out the .50-70 trapdoor my father bought when I was about 10 years old. Since then I've spent...
