[QUOTE="MikieG7174, post: 2964140, member: 41714"] A few days ago a buddy gave me a 5gal bucket full of wheel weights. Yesterday we saperated them and ended up with maybe 1gal of lead. Next we used a burner off an old propane grill to melt them in an old skillet and poured the led into a $12 Lee ingot mould. Then we melted the ingots in a $69 smeting pot and poured 9mm bullets in an $18 Lee bullet mould. Once they cooled, we sprayed the bullets with a $50 harbor freight powder coat rig. Then we baked them in a $5 goodwill sandwich oven. After baking we immediately dumped them into water to harden them and then we ran them thru a $25 Lee 9mm size die. The whole thing was easy and fun. For a bit of electricity and propane and powder, we got 500 bullets and 25 pounds of ingots for next time! I plan to be shooting some on monday. [/QUOTE]
