[QUOTE="Omega, post: 5105566, member: 20060"] Sometimes, but most times they would melt it and use it to coat the threads and other uses. There were, are, furnaces that are still called plumbers furnaces. Not a plumber so don't know each use, but have read how these were used. I have seen some for sale, but with the modern ones you can control the temp much better so have not gone that route. I have used a cast iron pan to melt lead and ladle poured some .50 cal RB and Lee REALs a long time ago, worked pretty good then, though I now prefer my bottom pour, I do have a smaller Lee ladle pot for doing small runs and fishing sinkers.
