At first you're going to ask what this has to do with BP...read on and you will see!
Recently I made a deal with a gentleman to cast some 9mm bullets for him in exchange for wheel weights. Today I started melting down these weights and behold about half of the 35 pounds either didn't melt or it was pure lead...not WW alloy! That's fine though because those of course can be used for my BP guns!
I'm posting some pics so you can see and use as a future reference what these weights look like so you can toss them away. The strip of small squares is the pure lead and are marked 1/4 oz.
The closeup shows clearly how one weight is marked Fe...showing it is made from iron!!!
