Pure soft lead?

 

[Sham66]

Hi! I bought this lead many years ago; I can't remember where it came from. I have used some of it in my muzzleloaders and there was no issues.

Is there an easy way to tell?

If you can dent it with a fingernail it is pure soft lead.

Drop one on some concrete. If it makes a dull thud sound it's soft.

 

[Sham66]

OK, my wife and I performed a scientific drop test. Conclusion: We could not come to a consensus on the level of thudness that would constitute soft pure lead. However, dropping the lead produced a considerable dent. The dent exposed very shiny lead which leaves me to believe a sort of coating or film has formed. When pressing my fingernail into the exposed shiny area, it did indeed leave a dent.

I leave it to you to draw your own conclusions. But it did pass the fingernail test.

Lead forms a lead oxide coating on it when it is exposed to air. That's the reason the surface looks different when compared with the newly exposed lead.

does it all fit into a single USPS flat rate box?

disregard...

 

[Sham66]

Yes, USPS flat rate medium box.

I’m not sure where we are in the conversation, but if no one has dibs yet I’ll take it. I’ll send you a PM.
