This site was posted on another forum. I thought it might be useful here. http://www.lasc.us/CastBulletAlloy.htm
 
And stick on wheel weights are 99.5 % pure lead with a BHN of 6. Plenty soft enough for bp balls and minies. :thumbsup:
 
I really appreciated the in depth report I read the safety section, I did not figure to wash my face after casting but that makes tons of sense, I figure just shower afterward. I cast ingots so far in the open in my garage near the door on an oil slick covered with sand. Reading this has made me change my my frugal methods of re melting my can of dross just skim it and forget it. but I may try to reclaim it from each session. I will also cast with a thermometer and get a lee melter.
