RE: [Muzzleloaders] Lead

I usually find my bullet lead on EBAY. Last purchase was a 40 lb block for
about $30.00 including shipping. I ask seller if it can be scratched with
fingernail to determine if it is pure, soft lead.

Is wheel weight lead not safe or pure? I don't melt my own bullets anymore, but I used to. And I'd never do that stuff indoors, either. J...

I have heard that wheel weight lead is not a real great thing to use for balls, but this is uncomfirmed. When I need lead for either my Pennsylvania .50, my...

Wheel weight lead is ok for patched ball because patch holds ball in barrel not raw edge of ball. Old bullet lead is not always pure lead either. Must use pure...
