Thought I had mentioned having an ammo box full of lead ingots.

I use large milk crates to stack
1# ingots in. Stacked neatly they'll
hold 728. I have three full one's and
a couple hundred stacked next to the
melting pot where I quit casting last
time.

Best source I've found for bullet metal
is pellet picking at the range.
Others have already done the mixing.
