Be careful with wheelweights as some of them have zinc and you do NOT want to melt that - it alloys with lead and turns it into oatmeal and makes it absolutely worthless for bullet casting; they usually have Zn written on them to denote zinc wheelweights, or drop them on the ground, lead makes a plunk and zinc makes a plink.

"Being in a hurry is expensive" wow that's sage

When I sit in my garage I either listen to some 60s music or listen to you as i separate my scap.rock on bro all the best from Cleveland Ohio
-
I also want to add is that the extra work you do to edit and put videos like this together are worth it
-
I bet you put a big smile on bullet reloaders faces, thank you for sharing friend.

My dad and i used to sit out in his shed and make sinkers for fishing. He bought 2 molds for $40. He made his money back on the first hauo we made selling them. He had molds for every weight anyone wanted.

In the matter of demand for pure lead, as a muzzleloading enthusiast who casts his own bullets (round ball), I rely on dead-soft pure lead for use in my rifles and pistols. Pure lead is critical in creating a projectile whose relative softness allows for ease of loading in concert with a cloth patch and fills the barrel's grooves to ensure accuracy. Hence the need for pure lead.

good video man!!!! not aq bad profit!!! have a great weekend!!

You should pour some rods for soldering bateries and terminals. They stack the same, but they have a direct use and won't need to be remelted. If you pay to melt lead, you might as well melt it into something functional.
-
Enjoyed your use of the term Snicklefritz. Well done.
-
I haven't been able to start into scrapping but after beginning to sometimes watch your channel i enjoy the fact that i can learn as much as possible thank you doing this
-
I used to collect lead as a kid, it always paid out the most, you should focus on collecting it more often, ask around building sites 👍🏻👌🏻❤️🇬🇧
-
Your smithing skill is 100!!
-
i picked up a 150 pound fishing weight on marketplace for $50. was pretty pleased with that. Good video Thub
-
great vid! I used to have a foundry and i miss seeing metal turn to into a liquid mirror. Thanks for taking me back!
-
YAY!! it's that time again. Look forward to your vids all week. I also learnt abot flux 👍
-
Did you preheat your mold? That will help avoid those bubbles and give a better surface. Pretty cool project.
-
This was great! While I'm not interested in this sales opportunity for myself, I just sell what lead I get to the scrapyard, it was another great breakdown of the relevant issues. I've worked for an electronics manufacturer for decades and I've done my share of pot soldering of circuit boards, and that color when you skim the solder is very cool to watch.
-
Fyi. If you can locate people who cast bullets they will definitely choose the wheel weight ingots. That material is more hard and is ready to use for most bullets.
-
That was so well done. You are really a unique scrapper and I love it
