Thanks guys!
Ideal,
No worries I have a mig welder and metal bench that I use for mig/tig welding and figured I would use that for casing. It's in the garage and i have a venthood behind the bench that draws off all fumes away from me. That being said I have a face shield, gloves, and leathers I use for welding... No worries about saftey here!
Yes I am new to casting, but I have 3-4k rounds in 45 acp and 38 special. That are already pre-cast so i won't have to start casting just yet. I have a couple sources for lead wheel weights; which from what i hear I can just melt and use them strait without alloy or mixing other metals in. Whether that is true or not I'll probably read about in the links you all left for me...
That being said all I am doing for now is melting wheel weight into easy to sore 1lb ingots... You can never have too much lead stored up right!?!?!?!?
My birthday is in Oct, so I'm planning on asking for a ingot mold and the 5-6 bullet .38spl mold previously talked about... Also probably need a good flux to...
Anyhow I am researching and learning for now. I also have some REALLY SMALL 45 acps (like 145-155gr.) that I'm going to melt and probably reform into 45acp rounds. Same with some other 170ish gr unkown bullets that grandpa casted...
