@@DavidBell-fb5bx Ya. I'm gonna redo the paint job. But I'm gonna use high heat paint next time. I have fun every time I melt. It's kinda addicting. Lol
FYI That lead water should be collected and disposed of. Hope you folks don’t have a garden on your land. Great video nonetheless. Where do you get your bullet casings from?
@@cody4925 I make sure to dispose of the lead water properly. I let the water dissipate and I put the remnince back into my lead collection to melt again. I have a friend who reloads so he gives me all the casings he has no use for. Free brass. 👍
@@ryanbosak2944 The first time I melt the lead out of the shells I always use a magnet to help sort out the lead. This wasn't the first time. I melted the lead out of these awhile ago. I always thought the shells were copper until I tried this. Apparently they are usually red brass which looks similar to copper. But I haven't been able to figure out what metal these shells are made out of.
good old lead get dirty hey , yeah I have 5 car batteries to pull down and melt been stalling that job as I know it will be messy great melt session brother
Good fun. Personally, I would be wearing a respirator. Lead vapor is no joke.
Looks like you are having great fun. I enjoyed your melt. It looks like the forge lid is going need another paint job☺

Do you get alot of copper shells mixed in? I'm curious why you don't use a magnet to sort the stuff out .

Were there any TMJs in there at all? If there were did they break open enough to get the lead out?
@@WhitestRob There were some when I originally melted them but I made sure to cut them open so the lead could melt out.
@9:35 make or find a metal funnel to dump into.

@@itsjustme356 cat batteries are horrible, yet, a good experience. I've done one. I look forward to seeing your take on it. Thank you bro. 👍
