the airport cat a year or so ago she and I may have gone round and round today.

I have had a small amount of reclaimed shot in a plastic container for quite some time now and thought today would be a good time to reduce that to ingots. Little did I know, the cat off and on had been using that for a pee box. Cat piss stinks bad enough by itself, now try melting that stinky mess down.

I did get 45 nice clean ingots and the cat got ate. Good trade.[image]

That's a good size piss box! Looking good!

I have been building a target trap for all the 22 LR ammo we shoot thinking that it is worth saving

A little on the soft side, just add a little

antimony to the mix. It's all worth saving. Why not. (10) of those little pills make a .45 rifle bullet.

well I keep two buckets of ignots, one wheel

weights and one pure to be alloyed. I'll treat it as pure lead. Since I dont cast I just save it for my friends that do hahaha

soft. There may be a touch of tin but manufactures would need something soft for swaging. As far as anything else, cast a few bullets and water drop them if they harden that would indicate the presence of antimony.

If they were mine I would mix them 50/50 with wheel weights and call it good. Or just give them to Dick he'll know what to do with them.

Dick get's too much good stuff the way it is LOL
