Hello,
I am celebrating today!! Yesterday, I got into a deal on some lead from an X-ray room. Somewhere in the 350 pound quantity, before clean up.
There will be some loss, as there is some wood that is still glued to it from the removal process, and it will have to be cut up into workable pieces.
I was really happy, as it was a nice score, and the price was right. I ended up with about 30 cents a pound in the raw product.
Large rolled up pieces about 1/4 inch thick..
My question is this.. is this stuff appears to be just dead soft lead... probably mostly pure?
Is there anything special about this, or is it pretty much pure lead? Is there a standard mix or make up for this or can it just be any thing?
I plan to use it for mostly pistol bullets, and I have plenty on Tin mix solder to add to it. Maybe 30 - 1 lead tin mix with a little bit of lino to harden?
