I think I got this. 153 so far. I think i will need to make a new form next. Maybe do 20-30 at a time. They seem to be getting bigger. :lol:

That board gets hot and warps every which way and is slowly burning out. I set it outside when i leave the shop, don't want to burn the shop down with it spontaneously combusting.

What a waste of good bullet lead :poke:
But seriously, would zinc work for this? Many tire shops have switched from lead to zinc and steel wheel weights, I bet bullet casters would happily trade their zinc for lead.

WOW !!!
Your process is WAY faster than mine. LOL
You may get elected to make all the weights. :super:
I need to get busy cutting string it looks like :D

Man is picking up a load of lead today and stretch has a 5 gallon bucket of wheel weights for me.

Theoretically, it is just as easy. However, the density of zinc is half that of lead, so you'd need one twice the size to achieve the same effective weight

WOW !
Yeah I am definitely way behind your ability.
My one little mold is nothing now. LOL

Might try to swing by this weekend and pick up some weights so I can be rigging up the dekes.

Looks awesome man.
