Default RE: How do you clean your melting pot?

Wheel weights are ok for some loadingapplications, but I mainly cast
projectiles for my blackpowder rifles. I've read that wheel weights
contain tin, and the tin will cut upthe riflingin yourriflebarrel eventually.
Theyshould beok for roundballs and saboted bullets though.

No, I don't order it. What I have on hand now came from a factory that
that used it as heat shield panelson their molds. Roofing lead and
plumber's lead are a few good sources. If you candent it with a finger
nail, it's good lead.
