I melt down wheelweights, scrap lead, pure lead, etc., flux and cast into ingots in an old, heavy steel pot. I use my kids' broken crayons as flux. Works great and I have a steady supply.

My ingots mold is an old cast iron cornbread mold. Ingots come out shaped like a corn cob halved longways. They work great for stacking in my Lee furnace for casting.

I use a Lee bottom pour to melt the ingots and cast my bullets. Again, little piece of crayon to clean up and flux the alloy.
