Had a 25# bag of lead shot hanging around from my trap shooting days. Melted it down and cast into 1# ingots. I cast bullets for both metallic and black powder shooting. Now I know its most likely not pure lead but wondering if its hard enough for 38,44 and 45 caliber bullets. The thumb nail test just doesn't tell me much. I have lots of range scrap lead that I could alloy it with or just cast it straight up?
This bag dates back to the early 80's and is "tower shot". It sure made nice shiny silver ingots.
