I have 10lbs of hornady #1 buck I know its harder than wheel weight lead. Could I cast some 45-70 bullets out of it and can they be pushed to a little higher velocity???

This is just me talking, but if I had 10 lbs of buck I'd say that's useful to someone, and I'd put it up on eBay if I had no use for it. I don't see melting down something that would be dern near impossible for most folks to make. Melt down ingots...sell the buck shot. Especially if it has a brand name. Use USPS flat rate box and get it to someone who reloads shotshells.

I'm confident the answer to your question is 'yes'. But I'd think you'd be able to buy 20 to 30 lbs of lead on eBay for what the buckshot would sell for. I could be wrong, of course. It's a weird market.

I have 4 bags #6 and was thinking the same thing. due to the mess WW makes.
so far no info on it.

I would be interested in possibly trading wheel weight lead that is melted and cast into ingots already for the "4 bags #6" and "10lbs of hornady #1 buck".

PM me if interested.

Thank You
