Casting round balls with lead shot.
      02/09/08 10:24 AM

I cast 75 round balls for my .72 caliber Kodiak today. My son gave ame a huge chunk of lead and we melted it down made the balls. It was a hot fun time here in South Florida. After getting the hang of it ( and getting the lead at the right temperature) the balls turned out perfect. I asked my son where he got such a large amont of lead and he said that he melted down a bag of shot.
What kind of balls did I end up with? Soft lead, Medium hard or hard lead. Apparantly, lead shot is some kind of mix, but I don't know what.
