    Well gave it a shot, ended up with right at 40 lbs of reclaimed lead. Thanks for the tips!

    Your set now. You can pour until your sick of it. Never buy another jig. Just warning you one you start pouring and painting it gets very addictive.

    One caution: make sure the bullets do not contain moisture if you are adding them to a melt. Moisture and melted lead will cause a eruption of very hot lead.
    Be safe casting.

    A member that is now banned put a brass shaft sinker that had been outside and had water in the shaft area in a hot melt. Exploded violently. Burned him some and in one picture he had small bits of lead hanging on his eyelash. This is serious stuff with no second chance. Just pay attention to all you can find on this.

    I learned great gloves and eye protection are a must. The empty can I used for dumping scraps in had a little liquid left in it and had some reaction to the first dump. Put a little sand in the bottom and no problems. It was a learning experience, but I did learn, everything is hot and stays that way for a while. Time to get a pouring pot and some molds now
