Smelting car battery lead

[Old Two Wars]

If you have 45 pounds of lead multiply by 7000 grains and divide by bullet weight your going to cast in grains .1 Lb of lead is 7000÷bullit weight cast is70=100 bullets from 1Lb of lead hope this helps.

Unless my math is wrong, shipped 45 pounds of known alloy (2:1 Pb/No.2) from Rotometals is $150. That's a total of 790 bullets for me (without taking into account dross losses etc.). That's a nominal $0.19 per bullet. More than worth it to me and I can't understand considering battery smelting at all.

see my post belowhope it helps

Edit: Posted response to wrong thread, sorry. Yep, thanks, that's what I do. Buying 60 lbs at a shot gives me $0.17 per bullet.
