[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 799791, member: 807"] Another caution, when lead started getting so expensive, wheel weights started showing up made from zink. The zink melts pretty well on my propane fish cooker that I use for bullet alloy making, but if you mix it with your lead, it will ruin that batch of alloy. The zink increases the melting temperature of the alloy and it causes lots of problems with the molds. The bullets won't fill out all the lube grooves etc. in the mold. Be sure to separate the zink wheel weights from the lead. You can scratch the lead wheel weights with your finger nail, but you can't the zink. Blitzfike [/QUOTE]
