I came across a bunch of lead-pipe a crew was digging out of the ground, water lines I'm guessing. They said I could take it and they will have plenty more later in the week. I cut it all up to small pieces and now have 2 buckets full. Total weight 178.6 pounds
Or 1,250,000 grains
That's 7,912 .357 bullets
What is the best way to harden them to be used in 9mm up to .44 mag and in between.
Say I do 20 pounds of this pure lead pipe how many pounds of tin or antimony do I use to get a good BHN? Did I hit a jackpot with this find? I think I did. Cant upload pictures for whatever reason but I'll keep trying. Like I said it just old water lines so I'm guessing pure lead.
