I was just hashing around with my girl friend about the silver bullet thing and it got me wondering how many on the fire have tried it.

Thanks for the info. If I do some I will do them the jewelers way.


Cast wax in a standard mould and make a wax tree with several wax bullets. I don't see why it wouldn't work.


I was thinking just cast them out of lead then make the tree out of several different size slugs.

When you put it in the kiln just start with a low heat melt out all of the lead and reclaim it and then turn it up for the silver.

For me that would be less of a chance to mess up the slugs before casting.

Wax can be touchy with scrapes and dimples when you mess with it to much.



You can't do it.......
