Jim, You can buy molds to cast lead ingots in several sizes, such as 8 ounce or one pound. Or you can buy lead ingots. They are readily sold to hunters and fishermen on eBay. There are various sized boxes available from the post office that allows up to 75 pounds to be shipped for something like $15...wait they just raised the rates so it may have gone up. Those boxes make it feasible to buy lead over the internet. steve Steve R. M-15 #119 Lexington, KY ***************************************************** Thanks Skipper Great suggrstions. I was thinking of larger units of the lead shot (using an ice cube tray) before putting them back in to the haul. What do you do to dam up the epoxy when you put it back?
