If the weather is going to be as nice as they predict, my brother and I will be putting pure lead into ingot form this weekend. We want to get this done, before the rifle deer season starts, so fingers are crossed that the weather man isn’t lying.

Of course I’ll post some pictures here during/when we get done, and let you guys know the total weight of ingots, when we are done. We’ve been so busy, we haven’t made any ingots for a few months. I’m not actually sure how many pounds we have, but it’s a lot.

Well, I was just looking through my pictures and the last time we made ingots, was the 1st week of September. Not as long ago, as I thought. Oh well, still needs to be done, and we got a lot to do.

Haha, no antimony here. I know this is 99.99 percent pure, it’s all been analyzed.

If any newcomers don't know this, Brickman301's pure lead is very good and soft stuff. I"ve received 2 different deliveries from him and tested on my Lee hardness tester and they are very constantly around 5 Brinell Harness.

Thanks! That’s what I like to hear from customers, especially repeat customers.

This is the reason I sell the lead I do, as I know it’s consistent time after time.

Would this work well for Lee REAL bullets in a black powder rifle?

Yes, this lead would be perfect, for the real bullets.
In fact I use this lead to make real bullets myself. I make 50 cal in both 250 and 320 grains, with this lead.

Great, let me know when you are done. I’m looking for lead as I’m running low on REAL bullets that a former member here casted for me.

Yes, I sell this lead. Anyone interested send me a PM. I’ll probably be posting it in the classifieds soon. I also have sheet lead, (not in ingot form)for sale was well.
