Just like farming potatoes. Hard lead pipe, perfect for big bore gas checked bullets, fishing sinkers and downrigger cannonballs. More than a lifetime supply.

The lead came from a large pulp/paper mill that was shut down, the lead pipe was used for the nasty pulping chemicals used in the process.

Just received in the last month a few new molds: .411 for the 400 H&H, .515 for the 50110, 50 Maxiball, 54 Maxiball. The fall casting session is getting nearer.

The burner is an old crab cooker burner, works great for big loads of lead. I have smelted around 400 pounds already, including about 100 pounds of softer lead for the muzzleloaders.
