Your tin (Sn) and antimony (Sb) are not "burning off" as in disappearing through vapor…it just separates from the lead (Pb) in the hot smelt and comes to the top. Then it will oxidize with the air and gets dull grey and you end up pulling that off when removing the dross. The paraffin forms a thin layer on top of the melt preventing the oxidation. That silvery dross in the jacket scrap can be put back into the next batch you do to richen up the next pot.
TMJ (total metal jacket) boolits that are not damaged need to be snipped with wire cutting pliers so they don't accidentally explode from pressure build up. Most of them are nicked up from hitting things in the burm and the Pb drains out without any surprises.
If you use a larger dipper you can pour each ingot in one continuous pour and the wrinkles on their sides disappear, not that it makes a hill of beans difference in how they work but it just makes a more professional looking ingot…of course that only matters to you.
Since you have gone from assembling store bought parts into ammo, as a 'reloader' does…and now you pour your own boolits from Pb you have scrounged up…you have graduated into the ranks of the 'handloader'…a maker of ammunition.
There's a difference…congratulations…you will have boolits when your neighbors have none…that sad day is coming!
+Charles Irby charles your correct sir, as far as the full patched (TMJ) rounds i seldom experience any that have not cracked during the impact of the burm area, possibly due the the burm area i dig at is in the 7 yard range and most of the rounds hit each other with enough force to damage the jackets enough to leak out during the melt, a majority of the the spent rounds i dig are 45 acp fmj rounds since there is more lead in them, and yes digging for lead is like digging for gold because that lead could go up in value if we ever have another ammo crisis, i want to thank you for your time in writing your comment.
And the day has come 😄
I really love the smell of lead!!!!.
Lead yes burnt slag no.
Good to watch this one again. Thanks.
So many dudes giving "instruction" that starts with "this is my first time, so...". Thanks for being willing to try to drown out that noise by giving us actual knowledge.
i'm no professional but i will make my videos as simple as need be as possible.thanks4 watching. i have other range scrap lead videos as well.
13:40 Hurry up but slow down. Like what my dad used to say! Thanks for sharing, This was terrific. You sir are one of the last lead producers in America! And man, you must like Master Chef coffee! ;)
TSG its an old navy joke we used to use because thats how they treated us "hurry up so we can wait quickly"
TSG wow how did you know i like coffee?
angelo soriano OH ONE MORE THING YOU INSPIRED ME TO DO ANOTHER LEAD VIDEO SO YOU SHOULD BE RECIEVING A DING ON YOUR PHONE SOON STAY TUNED.
Entertaining video and a good hobby but after all is said and done it’s not a lot cheaper. Good luck and enjoy!
go on line and try to find loaded ammo for sale....get back to me on where you found it.
Nice video, thanks for sharing. I used to think the same way, that this would be a huge waste of my time and way too much work. Now that it is difficult and expensive to order projectiles, I am thinking this looks like fun lol.
Good job be safe
thank you jimmy.
Nice video I'd love to do this but I'd use a muffin pan just a suggestion get more inggets in one sitting .
the muffin tray is used more often due to the economical cost and most people have them in their pantry to be readily used, now ingots on the other hand cost a bit more but! when inserted into a circular melting pot the shape of the ingot geometrically fills the melting pot very uniform as a circular shape does not.
Hello, i need help. Can you tell me the average composition of Range Lead i.e Tin(Sn), Antimony(Sb), Lead(Pb) etc ?
Nice
thanks4 watching.
Use cast iron
I NO LONGER HAVE EITHER THE PAN OR THE STOVE BOTH GOT THROWN OUT.
