[QUOTE="cdschoonie, post: 3606325, member: 43126"] I’m very new to casting, had a couple molds given to me, I have a good amount of lead, so I thought I’d give it a shot. I still have a lot of research to do before I try to tackle this, but this is the biggest thing, and it’s driven me crazy today. The info is all out there and I’m sure is easy to understand to most of you, but it’s Greek to me. On hand, I have probably 150 lbs. of pure lead and around 100 lbs. in tire weights. My question is, can I cast bullets with pure lead? Pure tire weights? Is there something I need to add to one or both of them that is easily found? I’m wanting to pour up a bunch of ingots, so when I get days to cast, I can just toss some in and get after it. I live in a small town, so I’m limited to Walmart, Atwood’s, and Ace Hardware without having to drive that far, unless it’s something I could easily order from say Amazon. Thank you for any advice.
