Get the [zinc?] out.

[mdi]

Please excuse the thread drift , one question and I am outta here.
A guy from the Washington coast gave me a bucket of pyramid shaped fish net weights. What are chances they even have any lead in them?

Since the only requirement for sinkers is for them to sink, they are probably scrap, cheap, overstock "bargain" lead. I haven't purchased any lead sinkers in quite a while, (except for a dozen small egg sinkers I wanted for barrel slugging) and those I've seen vary greatly from soft (pure?) to approx wheel weight hardness. I guess the commercial cast sinkers are close to pure but I'd check hardness before I used any for bullets...
