After fifty years of casting and using nothing but old style WW, I am entering the world of range scrap. So much of it is just laying in the Range sand berms that you can just pick up. I don't even have to dig. 10 minutes of picking equaled 8 lbs. But it rendered about 5 lb of melted lead... I'll let this allo cure for 2 weeks and test it on my LBT Checker.
Question i have, is about the 45 jackets that are left from the smelting process. They look like they have been copper washed (rough)rather than pure copper as in a Sierra Jacketed hollow Point.
Are the jackets worth an any thing and what is the jacket covering? Lead or some crap not worth melting down?
Thanks Hal
