Earlier in the thread there was discussion about where to come by pure lead for casting BP bullets. I know the local dentist who saves me the lead foil squares which come off of every piece of x-ray film he uses. Today I picked up a box which had about 10 pounds of lead in it. I bet all dentists just throw it in the trash so if you would just ask yours, you might talk him into saving it for you.

Remington Kid, you use .454 balls in your Pietta I think. Dixie recommended .451 balls for mine. You helped me pin mine down to a 2004 model (thanks) so I'm wondering if yours is made to different specs or are you just shaving off a little thicker ring from the ball when you seat it?
