I bought all the lead pigs from an old print shop a few years ago. I gave about 700 pounds to a friend who wanted to case 300 BO bullets. I still haven't cast any yet because we built a new home and moved and I haven't set my stuff up.
I took a 22# pig to a scrap yard and had it tested with a Xray gun. It was only about 70% lead and the rest was tin and antimony. My friend said he had to mix a lot of pure lead with it to soften it up a bit. I need to find a source for pure lead and get casting. I've got pigs of that stuff stacked all over my garage. It sucked moving it.
I'm looking forward to.learning to.powder coat bullets. I always hated traditional bullet lubes.
