FS: Range Lead Ingots

I spent the latter part of August gathering, sifting, washing and smelting bullets from the pistol range at the club into 4-5 pound muffin pan molds using sawdust as a fluxing agent. I remelted those again with sawdust fluxing and cast them in a LYMAN ingot mold. The ingots range from 13-16 ounces. I can get about 18-19 pounds in a USPS small flat-rate ($4.85) box with a plywood stiffener sheet. Any boolit casters need commercial bullet lead mix ingots? I'd like to get a buck a pound for them plus shipping. These are not from wheel weights, solder, pipe lead, battery plates, or other mystery meats. This is what Hornady, Sierra, Nosler, etc uses.

Thanks,

Hoot

Thanks Jeff. Yes, I do.

I Don't think I could have picked a worse time of the year to do it, but they were getting ready to add more clay on top of it all. I'll never know how many tons they buried under the new berm fill. The club's been there since 1949!

Email on the way.
