Sounds like a bargain! I've seen some people post on here about making their own weights from various lead items. I guess you'd just need a mold and a pot to melt in.... And if that's the case, seems just another step for a jig head!
That was a real good buy. I don't see why not it is lead. Melt it back down and pour what you want.:twocents
Doc, give it a try. I was given some last year and found when melting it was real dirty. Fluxed it a couple of times and was able to clean it up pretty good. It poured real well. I would melt and flux in a separate pot not in your pouring pot.
We love garage sales also.....
Prob could sell it to a reloading guy and buy a good amount of jigs/lead.
Hey Doc,
if you try it let me know how it works, I have 2 bags of shot in my old reloading shed, we can go into business :crazy:
Hell I'll give you 50 cents for it and you can double your money!
