Lead ingots for ball mold

Post by Bill Evelyn » Mon Jan 31, 2011 3:14 pm

Hey, all

After I've pilfered some lead from the fort walls, cleaned and melted them down, to what size and shape should the end product, i.e, the ingot, be? Do you form them with the ladle, each to a size that fills your ladle for campfire ball-runnin'? Is there a "correct" way?

Thank you...

I melt the lead and fill up my lead ladle so when I need lead I know that I have the right amount to fill the ladle.

Hey, Duane

Makes perfect sense to me. Thanks for the tip. Now I've got to raid the range before Tony Cox beats me to the punch...'course he always beats us to the punch, right?

Hope you are well!

Hey, Bill,

Funny stuff!! Of course, Master Cox will ALWAYS beat us to the punch, mainly because of quality control testing!! I tried to apply for the job, but Tony is NOT going to give it up!! ;) :lol: :lol: Take care, and God Bless!

Every Good Wish,
Doc
