I wonder if they'd ship one gratis?

Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?
I promise I would share. I'm 65 and shoot little boolits.

Might be a teensie bit too big for the Pro Melt. But I'm willing to try to make it work!
I am willing to share also, my son, grandson............
I need to take a trip up to CCI for a tour.

I am guessing that they measure 30"L X 26"W X 14" tall. What do you think they are?

How about and old cast iron bathtub?

A cubic foot of lead weighs 709 lbs. Those ingots look like 2 ft x 2 ft x 1 foot with some missing around the bottom. So probably close to 3 cubic feet, so they are probably one ton ingots.
i would be more than happy to take a few. i will figure out the cutting and melting.
Trying not to drool, same as the rest of you folks
Back in the late 70's there was an old guy building a cold molded sailboat and cast his own lead keel. Built a mold by digging a hole in the ground (for support) then building a form in the hole. Set up an old cast iron bathtub for the lead pot. Built a fire under the bathtub and melted a few hundred thousand bullets worth of lead before pulling the plug on that old tub
I was once gifted a cast keel and after cutting it up with a chainsaw, hauling the pieces and turning them into 5# ingots I swore to never accept another "free" large piece of Pb alloy. This was never on my experience bucket-list but I do chalk it up to an experience not to be repeated.

Those aren't Ingots they are Pigs there is a larger size called Sows. LOL
The Pigs are probably 1,000-1200 lbs. Below is a pallet with 1,000 lbs in 30 lb ingots. Rotometals even paid the shipping!

Yeah, those will make you drool! But big lead = big work!
