Did some "melting" today. I had loads of what we call "roof-lead" (sorry, I forgot the English word for it) laying around. It's pure lead and I use it for casting my Vetterli and Beaumont boolits. I think it was a day well spent.    These are all the Vetterli(top) and Beaumont(bottom) boolits I have left. Time to make some new ones.  Made all of these myself. Some of the Vetterli boolits don't look so good, but they fly fantastic. Met vriendelijke groet, Martin |

That looks like soft lead - it should hold the rifling well.... and be just the 'medicine' for a big feral pig!  SW

Not with these Pete, but when I cast boolits using my LEE melter I always add some tin. Makes the boolits a bit harder and easier to cast. Met vriendelijke groet, Martin |

.....I see that Hogger has also corrupted you into spelling "bullets" as "boolits"...   .....I just add more "o's"......boooooolits
