Casting Equipment and Lead: Lee Pro 20 lbs. bottom pour melting pot Lee ladle Lee ingot mold Lyman thermometer Marvelux flux Lee .600" double ball mould Two bottles of Rapine mould prep This stuff has been sitting in my garage for about 20 years. The melting pot is unused (purchased to replace the 10 lbs pot that I wore out), but did collect a bit of rust over the years that I've wiped off as best I could. The 63.4 lbs. of lead is a mixture of pure and hard lead. The ingots marked Saeco and Lyman were purchased at Fort Shenandoah as pure lead and the ingots marked Lee are most likely hard lead. There's plenty of bullets that are mostly hard lead and the round balls are pure swaged lead. According to https://www.kitco.com/price/base-metals/lead lead is currently $0.84/lbs. This puts my lead at roughly $53 total. $75 for all of it here in Stafford County. Full size photos: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1j7fp726B9Enr_yvIu19Da_4fMlNbmji9?usp=sharing
