O.K. the old method was the "shot tower" and you let small droplets of lead drop in air far enough to solidfy, etc. So if you have a tower. Taller for larger droplets...

There was a machine that "spun" the molten lead, once melted, out of the bowel and if it wasn't too hot, it tumbled down the sides that caught it... Haven't seen one for a time, but haven't looked.

It is doable, but bit of work. Fuel/heat is not cheap. Unless you are doing enough... luck.
