I received about 30 lbs of it from a relative and am wondering what it would be in it. It’s very soft and I am just waiting for moulds and lead melting pot to come.
I melted some of it in a empty 9mm case and a Hornady 50 caliber musket ball in another.
Removed the slugs and the roof lead appeared to be about the same as the musket ball in color and using my thumb nail on it.
I will be casting for 45/70 trapdoor using the Lee 405 grain hollow base bullet mold. According to Wolf and others it is best to use only lead and tin between 20 to 40 lead to 1 tin. Not sure if the roofing lead has this or not.
Any help would be appreciated.
