Stockpiling lead and casting
« on: January 08, 2017, 11:15:42 am »
I bought a cast iron pot at a flea market to melt lead in, most of my lead is rifle range recovery lead from a range that only has BP shooters.



My pot is also my ingot mold and will make a 15 pound ingot when 3/4 full. There is 106 lbs shown in the picture.



My ingots fit right back in the pot when it is time to cast more bullets.

I do the same with a small cast iron skillet.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I would recommend a smaller ingot mold - remelts the lead faster, IMO   Also easier to pick up a light ingot :).   I would like to find a somewhat bigger pot though.  Cast more RB without refilling the pot!  Have fun casting
