    Very nice. I think I enjoy smelting more than I do casting or reloading.

    That is a big pile for 4 hours work. I take half again that long for only 400-500 Lyman bricks.

    That's pretty awesome. I'm very new but I can appreciate a nice pile of ingots. I mined a lead only range today and got about 1/4 full 5 gallon bucket full of little lead discs. Cool picture!

    now that's what I call a heap-o-lead.

    surely you need someone to help you test it...

    Nice pile! I love to see piles and piles of ingots but I must admit that I hate smelting as it is dirty, nasty, hard work but the ingots make me smile.
