I finally found some lead, got 170 lbs for $30, don't know whether that is a good price or not, problem is it was already melted and is in 25-35lb blocks made in a cast iron pot. Don't know what it was made from and thus don't know the make up...what do I need to watch for? The blocks are to big to fit in my little Lee melting pot and haven't yet figured out how i will get them broke down into usable size. But main concern is not knowing what type of lead was used. The lead was originally planned for making fishing weights, and it seems quite hard definety not soft stuff. Any suggestions on what I need to watch for would be appreciated.
Was thinking of trying to take an ax to the blocks to see if I could split of usable size pieces, actually have the iron pot that it was formed in but it is really rusty and I don't have a heat source that I could use.
