I'm not sure what a .54 ball weighs. How many can I get from 1 lb of lead?

I am glad to see you used what you have, instead of trying something with which you are unfamiliar.
I thought you had some kind of torch, and that is the Fast answer- as you describe here-- to cutting a huge, heavy brick into manageable "chunks". Glad you solved the problems. You certainly have helped a lot of members learn how to deal with similar problems.
I am glad you had molds to place under the block to catch the melt. I would normally have let the melted lead "pool & cool" on the ground, then washed off debris and dirt, and melted it in the pot in pieces( after it thoroughly dries!)
Thanks for reporting YOUR solution. :hatsoff:
