Just curious if any board members have a shop. I need quite a bit of wheel weights for lead.

I can set you up if you can wait until I get back in town on the 15th. Probably give you 25-50 lbs. -

I'll ask a stupid question... Are you melting it down into a mold on your own? Just curious how that works? A kiln or something?Comment

Lead doesn't really have that high a melting point, a kiln wouldn't be needed.Originally posted by jewozzy View PostComment

Yes, you use a furnace to melt the wheel weights, and remove the metal tabs and other slag and crap that's in with them. Wheel weights have small amounts of antimony, arsenic, and tin in them, so they are a little harder than pure lead, but that's about the hardness I need so it works out well, I don't need to make a different alloy. Melt them into ingots, then you cast them into molds, lube and resize the projectiles and shoot them.Originally posted by jewozzy View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
