For those of you who may make your own jigs or know the answer, about how many 1/16 ounce jigs can you make out of 1 pound of lead approximately? I know it will very somewhat due to impurities and all but I would like a general idea. Thanks in advance
GCD, i figured it that way but was not sure if there may be some unknown factors that might come into play that might reduce the number more, thanks for the help
just be carefull and keep ALL water and drinks away from hot lead and plastic. IT WILL EXPLODE
GCD I have not bought a pot yet, was trying to estimate cost and savings and such, I like the bottom pour pots, do you have any suggestions. Yeah I know about the water, I worked in a machining plant and we had a casting plant for aluminum blocks and I saw where they had an explosion and it melted everything in its path. It was not a pretty site
cabelas has the lee bottom pour 10lb for $45 the cheapest i have found...but if you want to spend the money and get a really good pot i would look at a RCBS 20lb...but out of 1lb of lead i get 200-220...but i am always skimmin my pot...

thanks crappiekiller I will take a look, also have to see if i can get some lead locally, I imagine shipping lead would be very expensive
