I am still using wheel weights as my main source of lead. I don't want to mess with zinc but am aware that it is a problem. What is the best way to tell zinc from lead weights? I want to keep them out of the pot to start with. A magnet will tell the steel ones but I am at a loss for an effective way to telll them apart. Lead scratches easily I think while zinc it harder, but is there a better way to identify them? I have a Lee pot which doesn't like zinc either.................Help...............Thanks to all of you that help me so much........

By the way I will add a solution to those Lee pots that drip no matter what you do.......Mine does, just a drip at a time. Get a cinder block and cut the end off so you have a "H" pattern on one end. Set the pot on top of it. Use a fly cutter to make a hole about 1.5 inches in diameter in the plate under the drip,
Place a tin (steel) can under the plate inside the cinder block and cast away. This really works for me and I empty the can every half hour or so. The drip really drove me crazy but this solved it for me. Hope that is helpful to some of you...........
