    Do we have any caster here??

    Hello all,
    Do we have anyone else here that casts their own sinkers / bullets? Know anyone who is? Lead is worth more to a caster than the yard, not to mention lead wheelweights are also getting harder to find. Just a thought.

    I have a pretty good pile of lead battery cable clamps with copper cables cut off still inside them. Is there an easy way to melt or separate these? Or should I sell them as is, in some particular category?
